Dear Birth Mother

You gave a gift,
A brand-new life,
Tiny and sweet,
A blessing indeed.

A baby girl,
Precious and small,
An answer to prayer,
No joy can compare.

No more empty arms,
I'm thrilled like no other.
You chose life and
Made me a mother.

Thank you so much
For this precious gift,
For being God's answer
to my prayers and tears.
