Dozen Senses

IT'S  A  HARD  TEST
WHEN  WHAT'S  BEST
FOR  YOU
IS  HARDEST
 FOR  ME

For Jasmine:

The Birthmother of  Warren Bryant JJ Bullock

For Taneha:

The Birthmother of Trey Bryant Bullock

And

For my Birthmother 

*~*~*

 

 Lately I've been thinking, 'cause 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 can tell your baby

When you love him so, that he's been loved before

By someone who delivered your son

From God's 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 is if this child was yours

Now I know that 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 that's all it takes

I know how much he'll ache

This may not be the answer for another girl like me

But 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 Mothers' love.

*~*~*

Maybe you can tell your baby

When you love him so, that he's been loved before

By someone who delivered your son

From God's arms, to my arms, to yours

*~*~*
