I know I'm not a mom.... but....
Ok- I know I am not a mom- but I work with teens and in some ways I feel like a mom sometimes. It's my dream to be a mom someday and when they told me this fall that probably wouln't be possible I was crushed! Ever since I was little I did't want to play barbies-- only house. I played with dolls through 6th or 7th grade- It's always been something I admire in others and something I long for.
Just like many people pray for their spouses before they meet or get married-- I pray for my children too. I believe that one day in some way God is going to bless us with children of our own. I look forward to that day. Til then-- this is my prayer (I heard this song and started balling in the car) I am going to scrapbook a photo or my sister in law with my nieces and use these lyrics and give to her.
Here it is.
Find Your Wings
lyrics by Mark Harris
It’s only for a moment you were mine to hold.
The plans that heaven has for you will all too soon unfold.
So many different prayers I’ll pray for all that you might do.
But most of all I want to know that you’re walking in the truth.
And if I never told you I want you to know
That as I watch you grow…
I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage to dare to do great things.
I’m here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings
May passion be the wind that leads you through your days
And may conviction keep you strong and guide you on your way
May there be many moments that make your life so sweet.
Oh but more than memories….
I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage to dare to do great things.
I’m here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings
It’s not living if you don’t reach for the sky.
I’ll have tears as you take off….
But I’ll cheer as you fly….
I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage to dare to do great things.
I’m here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings.

That is a beautiful poem! Maybe you could look into becoming a foster parent. There are so many kids that need loving homes.
