Hold on

Hold on

There was a girl who was born,

Her purpose in life she did not know.

She grew up, blossomed, was loved and nurtured,

By her kin who sought good for her.

In her teens the diagnosis,

after many visits to the doctors.

The biggest thing, the thing that hit her,

Ne'er would a child grow within her.

How then, would she find, thought she,

A man to love her totally.

When in the world there are you see,

So many fish in the sea.

She thought that a man would shun her,

Abandon, leave and desert her,

Once the talk turned to the future,

And raising a family together.

But to think like this, day after day,

Only lead to dismay,

She really had to change her angle,

And get herself out of this mind-tangle.

For to stay like this, never trying,

To find that one to spend a life with,

Is surely worse than maybe finding

A few less worthy on the road a-winding.

So onwards she must search and muster

Up the courage to look further

Seek and look and she will find

The one who's worthy of her time.

For God knows her heart, her fears and worries,

And if she lets him, he will tarry.

Send to her that one who loves her,

Will understand, care and not judge her.

For all of this was never her fault,

Just something that did result.

And after all, if God so wills it,

As parents together they shall be fit.

For children are parented, you see,

Not just by those with the biology,

But adoption, and medical treatments,

Can parents make in equal statement.

And however hard that journey may

Turn out to be along the way

These children are still just the same

So very special, from cradle to grave.
