Avea's Poem

This is the poem that I wrote for the day we told our families. I put it on a video one verse then a picture then a verse then a picture. It was a awesome experience telling around thirty people at one time. I had put music with it. The first song that I listened to for it was the one that I used, it seem to fit so perfectly. It was by N-sync As Long As You Love Me. Not a dry eye in the house on Christmas. My 12 year old neice even said Aunt Dee Dee that was the best Cristmas present you could have ever given us. Mike side it was a little traumatic at first but it ended up just as awesome. Aunt Dude had about four DVD players in the house and not one worked with the dvd that I made. So we had to haul them all into the computer room and lie after lie about what this movie was about. But we got them there, all the lies through them off until the very end then they all got it. I really wish I would have video taped the reactions that we got on both sides. But anyways this is the poem.

They have tried and tried to get me,

They just couldn't see,

That I have been waiting,

Somewhere they didn't think I'd be.

I knew I would be theirs the whole time,

Patiently waiting, knowing,

That they would be mine.

For me, God had a plan,

To be raised,

By another woman and a man.

He found someone to have me,

To lovingly give me away,

Please keep her in your hearts,

Because with you, I get to stay,

As for now Guatemala is my home,

I will be here for eight to ten months,

I have a family for now,

Don't be sad, I am not alone.

Please hope and pray,

Each and every day,

That I will be with Mommy and Daddy,

Sooner than they say.

I will have dark, dark round eyes,

Hair black like coal,

Skin that's golden brown,

My mom think's I'll be the prettiest in town.

Different looking I'll be,

But I'm gonna love you,

And your gonna love me,

You will See!!!!
