Birth Mother

I constantly have Michael McClean's songs going through my head. Here are the two most recent one's.




The Gift We Could Not Give Each Other




Then a gift is given, a phone call straight from heaven. There's a child that's nearly due that a young girl's giving you.
She gave more than just one life when she makes of this man and wife a father and a mother. She gives the gift they could not give each other. 
More than we could ever know this couple thanks the heavens. Every time they hold their child, they feel they hold the world. Words will never be enough to share the way the family feels. From deep inside their hearts they want to tell that girl: 
Not a day is ever through till we've thanked the Lord for you. Your sweetness lingers near in our hearts and thoughts and prayers. 
You gave more than just one life when you made of this man and wife, a Father and a Mother. When you gave the gift we could not give each other. You have changed our lives forever. Only you and God above could give this gift of love we could not give each other.


Another of his songs that keeps going in my brain is, "Something Perfect".  It goes like this,

Something Perfect

There's an ache that's missing today
There's an emptiness that's been filled
There's a cloud that's lifting and drifting away
There's a ragin' storm that's been stilled
There's a joy that's real
There's a wound that's finally healed
There's a future replacing the past
There's breath of new life in the cast

And there's something perfect happening here
And this moment will bury the mountains of fears
And through countless tomorrows
It won't disappear
This something that's perfect
Happening here

No one knows, so no one can say
That tomorrow all will be well
Will the brightest promise that shines on today
Shine tomorrow? No one can tell
But one thing is sure
And will be forever more
When such unselfish love has been given
The world just made more room for heaven

And there's something perfect happening here
And this moment will bury the mountains of fear
And through countless tomorrows it won't disappear
This something that's perfect
Happening here




This is dedicated to an especially wonderful birth mom named Shelby!  We love you!
