I guess, I was an unwanted baby.
But, I finally came along.
After much time in the cradle, I realized I was still alone.
I thought, my nanny was my mommy
My babysitter was my Dad.
I didn't know the difference it was the only life I had.
But then as I grew older I looked around to see
And I finally realized God had a purpose for me.
Through God's love, prayer and grace
God helped me find a home.
And now, with the love of God and with my trust in him
I no longer feel alone.
