Did you hear my cry? Did you hear my prayer?

I've always enjoyed writing, but I'm not too big on poetry. However, as I watched Christine, and I watched Olivia sleeping, I just felt like writing something down. This is straight off the Mingyuan Xindu Hotel (The Majestic) stationery, and I'm a little nervous about it. Christine hasn't even seen this yet, but here goes...
Tell me what you think....

This is a converstion between an adoptive couple and God, an abandoned baby and God, and God's answer....


Did you hear my cry? Did you hear my prayer?

When the strip read "not pregnant" for the millionth time
Did you hear my cry?
When in despair we asked "Lord, please give us a child"
Did you hear my prayer?
When the doctors talked to us and said "you cannot have a child"
Did you hear my cry?
When the grief sunk in, when we knew it was true
Did you hear my prayer?
When we were unsure of our path; of just what we should do
Did you hear my cry?
When we saw that little angel, and our hearts burst with joy
Did you hear my prayer?
When she was tired from her journey, and scared of mom and dad
Did you hear my cry?
When we held her in our arms, and saw that precious face
Did you hear my prayer?

When I was left on a street corner, and was scared and all alone
Did you hear my cry?
When I was nursed to health, but longed for a home
Did you hear my prayer?
When I was hungry that one night, and didn't know what to do
Did you hear my cry?
When I begged for a family to love me as their own
Did you hear my prayer?
When the train ride was long, and I left my orphanage
Did you hear my cry?
When I first saw them both, and I was happy, but I was scared
Did you hear my prayer?
When I missed the ones who cared for me, and woke up in a strange place
Did you hear my cry?
When I saw my mom and dad, and knew they loved me so
Did you hear my prayer?

When you all longed for what you didn't have, and were hurting deep inside
Did you hear my cry?
When you wondered what would happen, how this would all end up
Did you hear my prayer?
When you struggled, and when you didn't go the right way
Did you hear my cry?
When you turned toward each other, and when your journey finally began
Did you hear my prayer?
When you saw one another that very first day
Did you hear my cry?
When you started your lives together, fulfilling my plans for you
Did you hear my prayer?

Whenever you need strength, hope, or love
He will hear your cry.
When you come to Him, when you truly seek
He will hear your prayer.


Remember, God is never far away from you if you truly seek Him, and He does know the plans He has for you.
