Welcome to Our Family

December 30, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is new beginnings, in honor of the New Year.

Today’s poem welcomes a newborn into his or her adoptive family.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Welcome to our family,

Dear child of our hearts!

Welcome to the bond of love

Of which you now are part.

Welcome to our waiting arms

That will your world enfold.

Welcome to our way of life

That will your future mold.

Welcome to our hopes and dreams,

Our faults and foibles, too,

For some of our soul-seeds, hand sown,

Will bear sweet fruit in you.
