Tender Poem

Every call has a beginning
A quiet moment when God
whispers a promise to a mother’s
heart.

A holy place where a father bows
and faithfully accepts
the journey set before him.

A miraculous morning that
unexpectedly dawns…
Casting its first light on a chosen
threshold.

A gentle knock... a closed door
opens.
A sacred invitation sent by the
Father...
Leads to the other side of the
world.

Where lonely hearts stare out
orphanage windows
Praying for someone to care...

And then one morning,
On an ordinary day
An orphan’s life changes...

God sends them a second chance...
Through you..
