Beautiful Poem

A friend who I met online through the girls sent me this poem today. It was so truly beautiful and touching I had to share:

The Chosen Ones
I had a dream the other night. It came to me so clear.

I stood before the throne of God, afraid to come too near.

God said to me, “I hear your prayers. There are answers you can’t find.

I brought you here to talk to me and help to ease your mind.

"I said,”Well, yes, God, I am upset…About my special one.

This punishment is awfully harsh…Whatever have I done?”

God looked at me and shook his head, He said, “My Dear, you’ve got it wrong.

I sent this special child to you because you are so strong.

I searched and searched to try and find someone with a love so rare.

Parents so unselfish they could give him that special care.

I try to save my special gifts, like those you’re speaking of,

for a special kind of parents I call the ‘Chosen Ones.’

Of all the ones to choose from, I know I’ve got it done…

Parents who deserve my best, an honor you have won.”
