OUR LIFE- OUR LOVE- OUR WORLD: How do two people get so LUCKY!!!?

AVEA'S POEM This is how we told our families about Avea

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 light golden brown,
My mom thinks 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.

THE TWO WOMEN

Once there were two women
living half a world apart.
God joined these women together
with a common thread between their hearts.

In one, He created a life,
a beautiful baby girl.
In the other, He planted an idea,
weighing it heavily on her soul.

The first, heartbroken, faith strong,
knew the baby wasn't hers to raise.
She watched as the baby was taken,
and knelt down to God in praise.

The second, fightened, faith strong,
asked God to hold her hand
as she traveled toward a dream
to an unfamiliar, distant land.

The baby, she was beautiful,
an angelic gorgeous face.
She stared, wide-eyed and curious,
as into her mother's arms she was placed.

And there were tears full of sadness
as one mothers's heart wept.
And there were tears full of gladness
as one mother's heart leapt.

Two very different women
with a common curcumstance.
Each asking for God's guidance
instead of leaving life to chance.

Two very different women
who love the same little girl,
praying to God daily
to guide her through this world.

And though they'll never meet,
they are forever joined heart to heart
by the same AWESOME GOD,
lands apart.

I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.
I know you wonder where we are...What's taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you soand God will keep you strong.
Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...
Because Tonight, just as always, I blow kisses in the wind.
May God hold you in his hand until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.
Very soon you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.
But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.
May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.
