To The Birth Mother

My mother wrote this poem about my niece Kelly, when she was 2-4 years old~~late 1970's. She was adopted by my brother when she was a baby. She now has her own family and a baby boy, Noah James. Kelly has brought us much joy in our lives.

To The Birth Mother

You brought her to term
This jewel, this prize.
You gave to her life
This light of our lives.
How can we thank you?
We love her so much.
You didn't cast her out
Just as tissues and such.

God bless you, dear Mother,
With joy in the knowing
This grandchild of ours
Is happy and growing.
