Adoption, Carol Lynn Pearson

Text:
We did not plant you, True. But when the season is done, When the alternate prayers for the sun and for rain are counted, When the pain of weeding and the pride of watching are through, We will hold you high. A shining sheaf above the thousand seeds grown wild. Not by our planting, But by heaven. Our harvest. Our child.Carol Lynn Pearson

Artist’s Comments:
This beautiful poem by Carol Lynn Pearson was originally published in her book Beginnings and Beyond under the title, “To An Adopted”. Though not being an adoptive parent herself, she certainly captures its essence and joy. (Used with permission, www.clpearson.com)Michael
