Chosen

To bring forth life and watch it pass away,
To see hope spread wide from one so small,
To learn the many sizes and shapes of love,
This is the blessing of being chosen.

To be held up when all strength is gone,
To have stillness amidst the noise,
To understand the joys of sorrow,
This is the blessing of being chosen.

To hold new life and watch it grow,
To see a dream fulfilled each new day,
To love beyond all that is known,
This is the blessing of being chosen.

To be part of the great but love the simple,
To reach outside and be touched within,
To look for the giver before the gift,
This is the blessing of being chosen.
Happy Birthday, baby boy. You and your sister fill me up to overflowing. I'm so thankful I've been chosen.
