We join to mates with loving hearts
Our wedded life begins
We learn to share and sacrifice
And give from deep within.
Then as we settle in our homes
We think of families
And plan to have some children
As we build our fam'ly trees.
Some couples then are blessed indeed
With children of their own
The gift of progeny is born
As loving seeds are sown.
But there are others just as blessed
With children they can raise
These parents choose with loving hearts
While gaining Heaven's praise.
Then children find a loving home
With parent oh so dear
Who love and nurture needy hearts
And fill their lives with cheer.
Their special bond is made with love
It strengthens day by day
And parallels all family ties
In each and every way.
Adoption is just like the gift
That grew from seeded birth
And blossoms every bit as strong
This union of great worth.
