Newborn very carefully on the steps that
Led up to the Chinese factory.
As she quickly ran home in the
Dark she must have known that her
Foundling would be found.
I can only guess at her distress.
But because the mother was willing to
Give up her infant, the little one became
My granddaughter.
Tears well up when I try to express how
Much I love her.
My words fall short.
I want my granddaughter to know that she
Wasn't unplanned, that before she was even
Born, God had already planned her for us.
I wish her birth mom could know that her
Hidden treasure was found, that her hard
Choice was the right one.
I wish she could know the beautiful woman
Her baby has become.
I wish I could thank her and let her know that
Our dear Lia is turning 21 today.
