I hope you enjoy...
Her Name is Haiti
From the time we first met her,
We were in love.
It was if He had spoken,
From high up above.
We sought out her fortunes,
And what did we find?
A beautiful child,
Truly one of a kind.
She said, "Come and take him,
Make him your own.
From now as a baby,
Until he is grown."
We replied, "Yes, but...
How can this possibly be?"
We need much more guidance,
That truth you must see."
So she told us a story,
One of turmoil and strife.
And how she had called us,
To save this one life.
"I love all my children,
I'm so richly blessed.
But, he needs a HOME now,
A place he can rest."
We listened in wonder,
To this awesome story.
And grieved as she spoke,
Of her long fall from glory.
"But, that's in the past now",
She bravely replied.
"A great future we seek!"
She laughed, while we cried.
"There's no reason for sadness,
You've done all you can.
Now go take this boy,
And make him a man."
With that thought she turned,
And she went on her way.
Her story we promised,
To tell him one day.
But who was this woman?
Not Oprah, or Katie.
No, she's even stronger...
Her name is Haiti.
Until tomorrow,
Makenley's dad
absolutely beautiful <3
