Your breath stirred the soul to life

This gift, so precious in Your sight.

Love extracted from Your heart

Given in whole, not in part.

A Seed planted within me,

Creation, in all its mystery.

A gift too great to measure

Meant to be forever treasured.

Though conceived without love,

I accept this gift from above

For you knew this babe before time

And this babe was created to be mine.

So mine it is to accept

Or mine it is to reject.

In love I choose this day

To give this child of mine away.

You have blessed me to be a mother

But this child will go to another

And though my heart is broken,

In my giving, love has spoken.

I pray, my child, you will come to know

that in my mind, I will watch you grow

safe and secure in the loving care

of two others with whom my love I share.
