AN ADOPTEE'S PRAYER

 Linda Ann Henry

 

Dear Lord in Heaven, help me today
I feel very lost in so many ways
My birth mother had to give me to another
Please pray with me
For I never knew who I was
My adopted parents could not accept 

I was a little slow.

I did not bring them happiness

Dear Lord in Heaven, say a prayer for me
To find who I am so I do not grieve
Where did I come from?
What are my roots?
Why was I a puzzle, why was I last
To find out my unknown past

I knew not what my name was at my birth
I had to find out as I searched and searched
Dear Lord, You gave me a reason to be
In writing my beautiful poetry

 
Forgive me if sometimes I cry
I found who I am so I will let the past die
You have given me a gift, to share with people like me
I am in your heart, forever free.
