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...

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 yours 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 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

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.

How Can I Love Myself



I've made mistakes time and time again,
But I can forgive myself  and A new I'll  begin,

This I learned from divine grace,
No more secrets and lies too face,

By loving the darkside as well as my light,
I feel the peacefulness of serenity in flight,

Giving it's way to each new day,
The divine in me shows me the way,

How to love my darkside as well as my light,
Into the night,

I dream of peace here on earth,
I was God's child at birth,

He made me in his own image for all too see,
A perfect divine body I would be,

For I love he,
And he loves me,

That was his plan for all on his land,
So love yourself today right now,
Read the bible, His word
teaches you HOW,

It's all in there you will see!

From Your Creator The KING God Almighty........

Where do you go when you feel deep despair?
Who can you turn to and know they really care?

God breathed life into you when you were born,
So he is always with you when you feel torn and scorned,

He lets you choose your road ahead,
He guides and soothes you like the good book said,

When you feel like there is no hope,
Down from heaven he drops you a strong rope,

Hang on tightly he does say,
And my child of God I'll show you the way,

And as you grasp this rope in your hand,
You feel so warm all over thinking of the promisedland,

Your journey through life seems such a short time,
But its foward you daily do climb,

For when you depart this place,
It is God almighty you soon will face,

With his arms open wide,
The heavenly gates welcome you inside,

You meet your Creator with such humble glee,
Knowing that your truely home safe never to flee,

This place is promised to us all,
And when we trust in him above,

We will feel his forgiving love,
Oh, my child now you can rest,

For you have completed the earthly quest,
With the Angels you now do live,

Where each day we rejoice in heavenly bliss,
Then God reaches out with open arms,

And blesses me with his powerfull charms,
like magic, I feel free, with Him is where I truly choose to be.......

Note: This was written days after I placed my "Precious" for adoption.
The only comfort for my grief I could find was through journaling and poetry and daily communication with God!  He delivered me daily and gave me the strength to endure the pain of separation.  The pain that was so deep, that ONLY Jesus could understand! I was a young 21 when I wrote that poem.  How true is it to me today through all my trials and tribulations, I have NEVER been alone.  For he carries me just like the poem Footprints in the sand!  When you only see one set of footprints it was then that I did carried YOU!


Labor Of Love

My Labor of Love was all for you,
For nine precious months it was all I could do!


I nurtured you in the comfort of my womb,
While you played, tumbled, sucked your thumb and grew with plenty of expanding room!

My Labor Of Love,
Came from my heart, My soul and heaven up ABOVE!

For it was God almighty that kept me strong,
For I knew my Labor of Love would be LIFELONG!

I loved my baby from the start,
I never wanted for she and I to be apart,

But with great courage, I made an adoption plan!
A Labor of Love, That only another Birth Mother or Birth Parent could understand!

Yes a Birth Mothers, Birth Parents actions are truly a Labor of LOVE!
We are chosen by God Almighty in Heaven Above.

The Labor of LOVE,
That I possessed!
I know that she was God given, I was truly blessed!

The Labor of Love,
Did not end with her birth!
For I will carry that Labor of Love till the end of time on this earth!
