Christmas 2005

A Christmas Poem for Malia’s Christmas 2005
Twas’ the night before Christmas and all through the house
Something was different, for me and my spouse
We waited all year, and at times it was tough
But the wait was all worth it, more than enough
The room was all done with such love and such care
In hopes that our baby soon would be there
Never again would our house be the same
For there’s a new addition who we’ve given our name
She comes from afar, near a land by the ocean
Where life was not easy, some say a commotion
Her life was complex from the time she was born
Girls in the family just wasn’t the norm
Her birthparents made the only choice that they could
Their decision is quite often misunderstood
It took them great strength and a whole lot of love
A gift to us all from someone above
Our family was blessed to the "the one"
To raise this little girl for we loved her a ton
She has dark brown eyes and small little ears and nose
And her beautiful smile brings us great cheer
She dances around our home and our heart
We hardly remember being apart
Our love for this girl could never be stronger
She comes to us now, we are lonely no longer
The love that w have transcends earth, moon and starts
And it will grow even more, for she is finally ours.
