To Adam



To Adam

We were awful sad to hear
  You’ve found another home
But at the same time – we’re glad
  You’ll soon have parents of your own

You’ll have a mama and daddy
  To tuck you in each night
And when you have a little hurt
  Their love will make it right

Oh yes – all of us will miss you
  You’ve brightened up our lives a while
We saw you grow from an infant
  To an active little child

We’re sending you our wishes
  We’ve shared your joy and tears
May God be with you always
  Throughout the coming years
