Beautiful Poem

I'm sure all my blog readers know that we struggled with infertility for several years before adopting Macy, and there is an EXCELLENT article in the April issue of the Ensign that talks about infertility and there was this beautiful poem that I wanted to share as I know there are so many of us out there that have struggled or are struggling with infertility.

Just the Same

By Diana Lynn Lacey

Sometimes-

God sends rain

Straight from the sky

To nourish the young flower

and it grows.

Sometimes-

God sends rain from the sky

To the mountaintops,

Then over hills and through valleys

Until it reaches the flower

and it grows, just the same.

Sometimes-

God sends a child

Straight from his realm

Into a mother's arms

and love grows.

Sometimes-

God sends a child

From heaven to another's arms,

Then over hills and through valleys

Until he reaches the arms of his mother

and love grows, just the same.

I have such a testimony of this poem. It's REALLY true. I have one adopted daughter and one biological daughter and the love I have for them is 100% the same. I am truly grateful for my girls no matter how they came to me!
