This poem was in this month's Ensign after the wonderful article called Faith and Infertility
Just The Same by Diana Lynn Lacey
Sometimes -
God sends rain
Straight from the sky
To nourish the young flower
and it grows.
Sometimes -
God sends rain from the sky
To the mountaintops,
Then over hills and through valleys
Until it reaches the flower
and it grows, just the same.
Sometimes -
God sends a child
Straight from His realm
Into a mother's arms
and love grows.
Sometimes -
God sends a child
From heaven to another's arms,
Then over hills and through valleys
Until he reaches the arms of his mother
and love grows, just the same.
Even though I didn't physically give birth to Alex, my love for him is Just The Same. I Love You, my sweet boy!
