Free Spirit

A have a little brother. 
His name is Nathan. 
He is like none other. 
I call him my lucky star. 

Nathan can't walk. 
He sits in a chair with wheels, all day. 
Nathan can't talk. 
But that doesn't mean he doesn't have anything to say. 

Everytime I see him, I say a prayer. 
Thanking God for this precious gift. 
The gift isn't a toy or a teddy bear, 
But its the gift of a smiling face and a giddy laugh, 

Just because he is stuck in a chair all day, 
doesn't mean he has no thoughts or feelings. 
He loves to laugh and play, 
He is a person, just like me and you. 

Sometimes I wonder though, 
does he want to walk and talk? 
I wish I could know. 
Oh, how much I love him. 

His legs don't work, 
Its hard for him to speak 
But his face has a perk, 
And his spirit runs free.

The Greatest Gift of All

Dear Birth-mother,
Thank you for giving me life,
I am ever so grateful.
You’ve never had a chance to be a wife
But you let me be your daughter.

When I think about every baby
Who has been murdered today,
It makes me very angry,
That abortion is legal in the USA.

Then I remember your choice,
Long before I was born,
To give me a life and to give me a voice.
I will not take these gifts for granted.

We have never met, 
Because we are so far apart.
But you are really great I bet.
You have to be, for letting me live.

Why do people choose abortion?
They were a fetus once too.
There is always the choice of adoption.
Why choose death, when you can give life?

Oh if only every baby had a chance like me.
To have friends and a family,
To have fun and be carefree.
Then America truly would be the best country.

Someday I hope to be, 
a wife, a mother, a friend.
I want to adopt a baby,
who was given the same gift that you gave me.

So once again I thank you,
For giving me hope, a future
And dreams I long to pursue.
I promise I will not let you down.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart
Always, 
Your Daughter
