From Gods' arms, To my arms, to yours........

The song below is the song that I sent with my son when he was adopted 13 years ago. Jake will be 13 on the 10th of this month. The words in this song are everything I wanted to say and everything I felt. I miss him more then I have ever missed anyone in my entire life. I love you Jake, I always have and I always will.



So many wrong decisions, in my past I’m not quite sure, If I could ever hope to trust my judgement anymore. But lately I’ve been thinking, cuz it’s all I’ve had to do, And in my heart I feel that I should give this child to you.
And maybe you could tell your baby,
When you love him so that he’s been loved before, By someone who delivered your son, From Gods’ arms to my arms to yours.
If you choose to tell him and if he wants to know, How the one who gave him life could bear to let him go, Just tell him there were sleepless nights, I prayed and paced the floors, and knew the only peace I’d find was if this child was yours.
Maybe you could tell your baby, when you love him so that he’s been loved before, By someone who delivered your son, From Gods’ arms to my arms to yours.
Now I know you don’t have to do this, but could you kiss him once for me, The first time that he ties his shoes or falls and skins his knee, and could you hold him twice as long when he makes his mistakes, and tell him that he’s not alone, sometimes thats all it takes...I know how much he’ll ache. This may not be the answer for another girl like me, and I’m not on a soapbox saying how we all should be,
I’m just trusting in my feelings, and I’m trusting God above, and I’m trusting you can give this baby both his mother’s love.
And maybe you could tell your baby, when you love him so that he’s been loved before, By someone who delivered your son, From Gods’ arms to my arms to yours.
