For My Son

Today's the day my son was born,

and my heartbreak began.

I didn't see him learn to walk,

or see him become a man.

What I would give to be face to face,

and talk to him today.

I'd open my heart and try to explain,

why I gave him away.

I pray I did the very best,

for him that I could do.

I loved him then as I do now,

I only wish he knew.

I searched until I found him,

and tried to let him know,

that I will be here for him,

and I love him so.

On this December 17th, my son,

I have one wish for you,

may you find only happiness,

and all your dreams come true.

My Plea

O'God you alone have created me

So I came before you with this plea

My heart is heavy this very day

All I can think to do is pray

All my life I was told so many lies

Just to make sure I broke all the ties

You created a birth mom for me

And I pray you'll let me see

The one you so specially chose

She didn't even get to count my toes

They whisked me away oh so fast

But little did they know the bond would last

I've yearn for her all my life

Threw all the turmoil and strife

Please Lord hear my plea

I just want her to love little ole me

Lord God if it is your will

Grant me to see my mom who is real

I love you God, totally and unconditionally

~Janet McGregor

Mama

I know you're out there somewhere mama for many years ago

You brought my life into this world then you let it go

Now my life's half over and your is near its end

My heart cries out to know you let my love come in

Will I see your face in heaven will my guardian angel show

A mother to a child she's never come to know?

Mama can you hear me calling?

Mama oh mama can you hear me?

I might not ever see your face or feel your touch on earth

This leaves me with a longing I've held inside since birth

My heart and soul they yearn to know if you think of me at all

Do you wonder if I'm happy did I turn out short or tall?

Will I see your face in heaven will my guardian angel show

A mother to a child she's never come to know?

Mama can you hear me calling?

Mama oh mama can you hear me?

The many times I've called for you just echo in my ears

Tears fall down these cheeks that no mother has held dear

And though my life's half over now and your is near its end

My heart cries out to know you let my love come in

I knew something was wrong i didn't fit in

i could do no right just wrong and sin

beatings were frequent hugs were few

i don't remember my mom saying i love you

Will I see your face in heaven will my guardian angel show

A mother to a child she's never come to know?

Mama can you hear me calling?

Mama oh mama can you hear me?

My Heart & My Soul

Brandy

She came to me and through me from God above,

She was relinquished from my arms on a dreary summer day, with great strength and love,

It was God's plan from the very start,

Not that I ever ever ever wanted for us to be apart,

I followed my heart and did what was best,

Knowing that in due time God would handle all the rest,

Days turned to months, then to years,

I was sorrow filled, missing and longing for you my "Dear",

Many a tears I did shed,

Many prayers were plead,

Praying for continued strength to carry on,

Asking God daily Lord where did I go wrong,

When I finally listened to his answer speak to my heart,

That's when my new life began to start,

He knew what I felt all along,

And shared it all with me in a song,

He too had lost the love of his life,

His only son to sacrifice!

Brandy my beautiful birth daughter,

She is a gift from God,

My Heavenly Father!

Yes it was hard to separate,

But in Gods promises I kept the Faith,

For He had promised me,

That one day I would see,

YOU

My Brandy again,

And when I did,

A reflection of me was his gift,

Thank you Lord for choosing me,

to be,

My Brandy's!

Angel Bringer of Life...
