Sharing a tender moment…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In a twinkle, our once wrinkly baby is 3 months old.<\/div>\n
Gone are the newborn onesies which you outgrow.<\/div>\n
In its place a tubby winsome bud who coos and smiles,<\/div>\n
Affirming that big leapt of faith we took to go the extra mile.<\/div>\n
For this child, we tarried and prayed<\/div>\n
And 3 months ago, we heard God said, ‘Go ahead’.<\/div>\n
From the moment you were placed in our arms,<\/div>\n
you snuggled cosily right into our hearts.<\/div>\n
For all the tears that God has bottled<\/div>\n
How precious to trade it for you, our beloved.<\/div>\n
There are many ways to form a family,<\/div>\n
We’ve been called to walk the road less-travelled.<\/div>\n
No, I did not give you the gift of life,<\/div>\n
it’s Life that has given us the gift of you.<\/div>\n
As your Forever Parents, we will love you with all we’ve got;<\/div>\n
The Lord who ordained us as family will provide when we fall short.<\/div>\n
Like a single drop of rain that on still waters fall<\/div>\n
May your life story make ripples to touch the lives of all.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Happy 3rd Month Birthday Buddy!<\/p>\n
