Two Girls

This next poem was written shortly after my parents began pursuing this adoption/foster care journey. I still feel that somewhere out there, I have a sister. I have felt this since I was a little girl. Perhaps she will only live with us for awhile. Perhaps it is Claudia, who may never be released from Guatemala. Perhaps the Lord has some sweetheart somewhere else, who hasn't been revealed to our family yet.

2 Girls

Child, Orphan, and very best friend
Faithful and loving to the end

Sitting alone, tired and scared
Silently asking if anyone cares

Daughter, sister, and very best friend
Faithful and loving the end

Sitting culed up, praying with passion
For that girl who's alone, needy for attention.

Two different girls in this big, big world
Two different girls waiting for God's plan to unfold.

One with a burden, one who is hurting.
One with a family, one who is waiting.

Will God bring them together, only time will tell.
Will move the mountains and heal the little girl's heart as well?

They'll hold onto their dreams as they whisper their pleas.
They have hope to be united, of being a family.

Daughters, sisters, and very best friends,
2 girls faithful and loving to the end.
