My Angel

Five years, my son
since you and I met
in that room full of toys.

You were tiny and fragile for being almost two years
could barely speak,
not very good on your feet.

Your big brown eyes
and curly dark locks
the dimple that showed
when you smile
claimed my heart
right from the start.

You were given a second chance
for a family who would love
you unconditionally.

None of us knew
of the struggles we would face
but somehow knew it was fate.

Fast Forward in time
every bedtime
I remind you
you are my Angel, my Hero
for all that you have endeared, overcome.

I will never regret saying "yes"
to the workers who
brought us together.
You are a precious gift
my Angel forever.
