Adoption poems

In Jesus' Light

In Jesus' light I pray
That in His loving way
He will let me live my life
Another precious day
I will not shed more tears
Or look for the rain
For I am in Jesus' light
I call His lovely name

When I see through every color
My Jesus has made,
I am glad I was born
In the image He gave
I hold Him so close
As I sleep in my bed
When I feel His arms touch me
I have nothing to dread

For Jesus is the Master poet
He colors the world and the sky,
With His glorious paint
He is giving and kind
When I write
He tells me what to say
In my soul Jesus lives
He is mine every day

I have friends who will love me
People I don't know who care
I may be in the middle of life
Yet my life has been full
In Jesus' perfect light
I will ever move.

A Living Mistake

When The Lord made people

In His wisdom alone, He let us

Make mistakes in this world we know

Some of us take a while to understand

The reason we were born

At times it may seem without purpose

Yet, we have this inner soul

Which we sometimes show to all

Yes, God brings us into the world

He loves us because there comes a time
Like a painting God created

The beauty in our heart begins to shine

I believe that though I may not know you

In God's eyes you are special too
We can all be blessed

Like the butterfly coming from a cocoon

Though living mistakes

We are made to find the light, a miracle of heart

Even at our birth God brought us forth

We are here to serve and help others

Who are in pain and hurting more than we are

I thank God for letting us be born

He gave me a gift

To off-set any mistake

For children are given

Such love, peace and kindness to give

I will never cry for those who believe

There is no purpose for them staying in this world

Like the butterfly, for a time they hide

God, thank you, the truly living mistakes are set free

To find the kingdom of The Lord.

God never makes mistakes.
For He is perfect and knows only how to make miracles.

Where am I going

Where am I going in this world I know

Can I find Jesus who will love me so

Do I have answers to the life I need

Where am I going, Dear Lord, hear my plea

Where am I headed, will it be long

Can I hear the angels call me loud and strong

With my hands, may I pray

I ask You Jesus to show me the way.

Where am I going, do I know who I am

Can I smell the flowers or walk in the sand

Will Jesus care and help me please

Have I missed my calling

Why must I grief

Where am I going, does anyone know

I feel caught in a web, will it let me go

Many a tear I have cried

How do I make it

Can I reach the sky

Where am I going, will I see butterflies

In the trees way up high

Jesus, give me hope to come

Bring me out into the air, you are the only one

If I lose, somebody close to my heart

Take them to Heaven, give them a start

Let my tears turn into rain

Please take away the hurt and pain

Give me wings so I can fly

Into the stars, beyond the clouds

Where am I going, can you see me now

The people's poet

Written for my father William Woodrow Henry. The greatest father anyone could have.

I believe in me

I believe in me

If I see a butterfly fall from a tree

I will hold out my hand and help it fly again

I believe in me

I hold dear whatever beauty in the world I see

I believe in me

For I love people who are near my heart

Wherever I came from, it was a gift

Of love to be and happiness

I believe in me

The birds sing in the trees

There is a rose and a bumble bee

Sometime I can hear the angels harp

The sound of heart which I take part

I believe in me

Whatever the future plains

I will do what God Comands

I shall look at the stars

Make a wish or two

When it is my turn

I will see it through

I believe in me

Jesus will smile because He loves my soul

As long as He is with me

I will never have far to go.

To my baby sister

If I had all the money in the world, I would give it all to you

In the Heavens there are so many stars

They shine for me and you

All the glory of the world

We could travel, just us too

You are my baby sister

I look so much like you

You are a gift from Heaven
Mom, gave you to me

There is beauty in your eyes

A flower is what I see

I know we do not know each other well

When I open up my Heart I can tell

I have waited all my life, for you to come inside my heart

Now that I found my baby sister

Time will not end

You are always loved

You are my best friend

Linda Ann Henry

Do you remember me

The people's poet

For my baby sister, debbie

Oh! To be loved

Oh! To be loved by a man

Who can see the real woman I am

Someone who is there for me

I need that man to help me see

I have never been truly loved

What fault I have, I no nothing of

I have a pure heart, if you listen you can hear it beat

Will I be loved before my life ends

I do not want just a friend

I want a man who is good and kind

I need him to stay with me all the time

If one of us should die, at lease I tried

I can be happy, even though I have tears in my eyes

Oh! To be loved, for the time I have left

I have an illness, it will someday soon, take my breath

If only a man could look in my soul

There are flowers, butterflies, and birds sings in there

He would see beauty everywhere

I may not be as pretty as I was once before

The men back then, looked at me and closed the door

Is there a man who is heaven sent

Who has a gift called love in his hands

Strong hands that can lift me if I fall

Stay with me when I am afraid

Oh! To be loved by a man who cares

Wants to help me and kiss my tears

Hold me in his arms as I cry for joy

It may seem silly to some

Yet everybody needs someone

As I go to sleep in my bed

My dreams will take me to him in my head

When I wake up as I danced all night

I hear the bell ring and I open my door

There his stands, I thank you God

For answering my pray, he is real

He is mine. I am loved for all time

Merry Christmas, mom

This is our first Christmas

Since I have found you, mom

There is so much happiness in my life

I never gave up, until I gave you that call

Soon I hope to be standing at the nursing home door

I love you, no matter where you are

I understand it took me long

To find my heart and where I belong

I was always remembered

Though how was I to know

That you loved me, you loved me so

Your first born child has returned

There is something I did learn

Through the love of a search angel

I came back to you

My life is just beginning

It will never be through

Linda Ann Henry

Do you remember me

The people's poet

I AM THE ONE

I AM THE ONE WHO SINGS YOU TO SLEEP

IN MY HEART I WILL ALWAYS HAVE PEACE

I AM THE ONE WHO DRIES YOUR TEARS

IN MY ARMS I HOLD YOU WITHOUT FEAR

I AM THE ONE WHO HELPS YOU LEARN

IN MY EYES YOU DO NOTHING WRONG

YOU ARE GOOD, KIND AND LOVING TO ME

WHEN THE TIME COMES I WILL SET YOU FREE

I AM THE ONE WHO GAVE YOU HEART

I DID NOT GIVE YOU BIRTH

YET I PLAYED A PART

I AM THE ONE YOU CALL MOM

I HELPED YOU FEEL THAT YOU BELONG

YOU MAY NOT BE MY BLOOD

BUT YOU ARE MY VERY SOUL

I AM THE ONE WHO KISSES YOU EVERY NIGHT

THEN SAY A PRAY

YOU WILL BE ALL RIGHT

SOMEWHERE IN TIME

Somewhere in time, I believe I will find you

You are everything I need

Maybe in the past or future you will find me

Can I make you my hero, who loves only my heart

Will you be able to look in my soul and see what it holds.

Somewhere in time, I will cry out your name

When we connect, we will lock out eyes together

That will be when our lives meet, in a paradise for two

I may be wearing clothes out of date

You may be wearing clothes of time yet to be

Somewhere in time, I would like a knight

In shining armer , will you be my love

If I give you my hand, you will take it slowly

I have looked everywhere, in this time there is no one

Will you be the one I never knew

Somewhere in time, will your heart for me be true.

Somewhere in time, we can live forever and never die

Only our true beings, caught in a special place

One which never can be erase

So hold me to you and do not let me go

Together we are complete, we are whole.

Linda Ann Henry

Do you remember me

The people's poet

I prayed to find my birth father

It was during the holidays,

I forgot which one

I looked at the stars and the heavens beyond

I prayed to The Lord, that He would help me somewhere

So I went back to the place I was born, to find just who cared

I never thought a miracle would come out of my life

And give me much needed peace in my heart tonight

A angel came from somewhere, I wish I knew

She was the one who found my birth father too

He is such a loving man, who have looked all his life

For his little girl that was a miracle and a candle with the light

I pray help me find my father I have seen in dreams

Now I have talked to him and I feel the power I have seen

I want so much, to see his loving face

I was loved after all, a miracle took place

Linda Ann Henry

Do you remember me

The people's poet

For all the sad songs I have sung

Take me away from the beating and the pain

Let me sing the sad songs again

Do not let him in my house anymore

I have tried but it is hard to walk out the door
For all the sad songs I have sung today

Help keep me safe in everyway

Love is my only crime

I married a man who was not kind

Take away the brushes I have

Do not look, you may become sad

For all the songs that I have sung

Help me and my children find peace

Can I sing of what once was mine

Will the police come back another time

I will give it my all, I stay in the hospital

With no one to call

Please care a little, for a lost soul

I will not die, I will give my life

To the doctors and nurses who care a little

Understand me now, a sad song I sing

I am the one who can bring it to an end

I will be strong, I will not be beat again

Linda Ann Henry

Do you remember me

The people' s poet

If ever I would not be here

If ever I would not be here, would you miss my heart

If ever I would not be here, could someone give me a brand new start

If ever I would not be here and I close my eyes in pray

Jesus maybe the only one who would love me and tell me He cares

If I could climp a mountain and when I reach the top

If I called my name would it echo back

If I have dreams will they come to pass

Do I have a reason, being here at all

I was never wanted, no one answered my call

If ever I would leave this earth and go to God above

Would anyone on earth remember me and send me flowers with love

If ever I would not be here, there would be no rainbow that I could see

If the butterfly sits on someones lap, will they think of me

Will they smile, at last I now am free

If I would not be here, would the world be chanced

Would I make that much of a different

Or would I be blamed

I can not chance a thing that has happened

I have payed a price

If ever I would not be here

I would not be able to help someone who is scared

I would not be here to turn things around, so they could get better care.

If I would not be here, I quess the sun will still shine

The stars would still be out, for another time

The man in the moon would smile

People would still go on

If ever I would not be here

Without me, life would go on.

That is God's way of protection

So people do not grieve for long

If I would not be here

Will my friends and my loving sister

Remember I have lived

I push back the gobwebs

I look out in to the dark

I see a light shine

It is The Holy Spirit, telling me I will be ok

If ever I would not be here, Our Lord Jesus

Would cry for me every day.

Linda Ann Henry

Do you remember me

The people's poet

Only Jesus can give me true love. Only Jesus can stop me from crying. Only Jesus can make me feel better and take away my pain.

A place in my heart

You are my mother, you always have a place in my heart

They would not let you hold or kiss me

Yet you are my sun and moon

You are always mine

You never come to soon.

You gave me birth, someone else gave me my name

You are always in my heart just the same

I was taken away, You loved me enough

You held on to my tears

Why could I not stay with you, through the years

You are my mother, you always have a place in my heart

I loved you, though I was taken apart

Birth mother's are kept a secret, why I do not no

They suffer pain, this much is so.

You are my mother, no matter the day

In my heart you will forever stay

So while son's and daughter's

Sent letters to their mothers

I will always keep in mind

I had a birth mother

She is one of a kind

Happy Birthday to my nephew

Happy Birthday to a Dear Nephew

This come's strange from my heart

I love you so much, I just want you to know

There is someone who cares for you so

In my eyes, I see only the good

You are special to me, I see the boy

Who will soon be a man

I know you will try, the best that you can.

Happy Birthday, I wish I could give you gold

Or jewels, that would make your day whole

I only have my eyes which shine

Hands that can hold you, I wish you were mine

If you feel a breeze touching your face

It will be the angel I send, with loving grace

If ever you need me, I am just a phone call aways

Happy Birthday Sweetheart, I will see you someday

Linda Ann Henry

Do you remember me

I love you.

A New Year pray

Dear Jesus, You have been a friend to keep

Please bless the people who write me notes

Thank you for giving them so I can hope

They give me love, they help me see

That my problems are not very much

When I hold Jesus in my arms to care for me

After he was put on the cross

I feel the nails in his hands

The thorn on his head

The blood for all of us His shed

I look at His face, in so much pain

Does anyone care enough to call His name

His mother takes Him from my lap

She looks at me and asks my help

This woman who gave Him life

She always knew, what He would one day face

His mother Mary, has so much grace
When I think of myself, I really did not have a sad fate

Compair to Jesus, on the cross He lay

I will remember it this New Years Day

So I would like to pray

Lord let me always keep friends far and near

So they can remind me of Jesus love so near

This New Years Pray, will ring at 12

Help me learn, to give my love

Not just to receive it, It was sent from above

My friends, gave me Jesus, so I would not be sad

How can I thank them, each and every one

Without them in my life, I would not have seen the sun

Linda Ann Henry

Do you remember me

The people's poet

Written for all my friend would helped me see that compared to Jesus I did not have such a bad time of it. Thank you all for reminding me.

Put me in your heart

Put me in your heart

So I can be with you

Let us watch the stars

We will both be true

Put me in your heart

So I can feel your love

You are what I need

I wish we were butterflies

So we could fly into the trees

Put me in your heart

So no one else can see

I will never go away

And I hope you will alway's stay.

Put me in your heart

Hold my hand in yours

Let me see you in the sun

For I so much want to be your only one

Tell me dreams come true

If you want them too

For I love you so

I want to let you know

When I think of you

I hope you love me too

Carry me away, so in your heart I say

I am so very proud

That I know you now.

The people's poet

If I could live my life over

If I could live my life over

Would I change anything at all

At my birth,will tears for mom be shed

Will I still be taken from my cradle bed

Would my life be covered with secret

Not to be told.

If I could live my life over

Would I miss my brothers and sisters

A dad who never cared

I may still lived with an adopted mother and father

If these things could change

Would I live a happy life

Never crying for a puzzle not put right

If I could see the same stars up in the sky

If i could reach the mountains and oceans that go by

When the sun shines on my face

The clouds in the sky are as blue as my eyes

Will I live a mystery of why

The birds sing in the parks

I can feel angels in the dark

If I could live my life over

Would I see the me who is

Or will I be a shadow who has yet to live.

A walk in the park with my brother

It was the first time I met my brother

We could hear the birds sing

The smell of the ocean

We talked about our lives

Which are so different

When my brother took his glasses off

There was a connect made

He had the same color blue I have

When I looked at him I could see our Mom

As I felt the breeze on my face

I did not have the words to thank him

He took a lonely woman and made a princess

He did not see my disables

My soul was reflected in my eyes

I loved him as soon as we met

He was my blood, the heart of me

God smiled and blessed us

For at last we found each other

In the beauty of a park

Linda Ann Henry

Do you remember me

The people's poet

Written for my brother Tom Buchler

I will be there for you

You may not see me when you wake

I was with you last night

I did it for your sake

I kissed you brow

I kissed your cheeks

You are in my heart to keep

I will be there for you to hold close

You are my child I love the most

I want to see you with me

That is a dream that may never be

My love is unconditional

I had no choice when you were given up

I wish I could have kept you

Until this very day

I am sorry, you were not mine to keep

I cry so hard, I offen weep

I will be there for you

Though you cannot see

All I ask, is that you remember me

Linda Ann Henry

Do you remember me

The people's poet

Written for a 14 year old boy who was looking for the birth mother,whom he lost.

A father's love

My father held me in his arms

The day when I was born

He cared for me

He saw I came to no harm

The first time he looked at me

He loved me with an uncondional love

Though I was not his very own

He kissed my head, he was so kind

He prayed in thanks, God made him mine

I was special, sent from The Lord

I was a gift forevermore

A baby girl, there is no mistake

God does not make mistakes only miracles

I was to my father an angel sent from heaven

Linda Ann Henry

Do you remember me

The people's poet

No one should live with the pain of adoption, but loved uncondionally for who they are.

Jesus created both men and woman and the promise of heaven.
