Someone got a gift today
It came from heaven above
It was sent to a boy and girl
and it had been wrapped snugly, by Love
They welcomed her with open arms
Oh what a joy to see
They named her "Shyrrel"
and said,"she belongs to you and me"
Soon the tears fell down from heaven
no longer would it be
sometimes our Father in heaven
has his plans, can't you see?
He gave you to this girl and this boy
so that you, would be "You"
He knew you would be special
and He knew, just what to do
As time passes by
and a young lady, you'll become
remember that you are so loved
in this first place, you called Home
For there, will hold some treasures
that will make you richer than gold
Come see us when you are ready
but please don't linger too long
for We have all really missed you
as you will surely see
There will allways be a place, "Dear"
in this place, you first called, "Home"

Legacy of an Adopted Child
Once there were two men
Who never knew each other
One you do not remember
The other you call Father.
Two different lives,
shaped to make you one.
One became your guiding star
The other became your sun.
The first one gave you life
and the second taught you to live it.
The first one gave you a need for love
The second was there to give it.
One gave you a nationality,
The other gave you a name.
One gave you a talent
The other gave you your aim,
One gave you emotions,
The other calmed your fears.
One saw your first sweet smile,
The other dried your tears.
One sought for you a home
That he could not provide
The other prayed for a child
And his hopes were not denied.
And now you ask me,
Through your tears
The age-old question,
Unanswered through the years.
Heredity or environment
Which are you the product of?
Neither, my grandchild, neither.
Just two different kinds of love.
