The hope of you was not created in my body, but in my mind.I did not carry you in my womb,but in my heart.I have not known you for long,but I will love you for a lifetime.I prayed for a childand you needed a mother,so God gave you to me.God’s grace and loveshone upon us bothfor a moment,but will bind us for a lifetime.You were never a part of my body,but you will foreverbe a part of my heart.~ Connie Ard
