Kisses in the Wind

I wish I had written this poem, because it expresses so clearly how I felt during the time when we were searching for you and waiting to bring you home. Here is a little lullaby just for you, Grace...

KISSES IN THE WIND (The Waiting Child's Lullabye)


I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.


I know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.


Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...
Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.


May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.


Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.
But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.


May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.
