Scott Austin - New Addition

We received a call today
To tell us of your great news
But all I could do was think
Of how I saw your life to be

You sounded so happy
But I could not be
Even though it’s a blessing
And you wanted me to be

I could not bring myself
To say I was happy for you
You are so young
I could not believe
What has been done

I know I will be happy
Once you return home
Knowing that you are safe
Because children are such a blessing

No matter what has happen
I could never turn you away
Because I will always love you
For this I have always told you

So I wait for your safe return
To our precious and loving home
So we once again can cherish you
As we once did before

We welcome this new addition
To our family with open arms
What blessing this child will make
We will love this child the same

Scott Austin
