Poem for Grace


When we accepted Grace's referral, the China program director at our agency wrote this poem for her. Thank you, Stefani!

Its exciting to believe that dreams really come true I hope such a thing
happens to you It happened they say to lucky Maizie Long Fu

She was triking one day
At the photo shop, what? Unusual you say?
They snapped a great shot of her cute impish grin Trying to show her pure
charm deep within Something quite magic was starting out there....
So a family could see her, stand up and cheer!

Beside her was standing her kind foster Mom Sad the family finding was
taking so long It hasn't made sense! Why, has this been so?
Alone is no way for a child to grow!

Nobody loved her...? Poor Maizie Long Fu?
No! No! No! Such a thing is plainly not true!!
She had aunties and uncles and a foster family But she needed her own space,
her own place to be

Over and over again in her head
These are the words that sweet Maizie said, "I can surely find home,
Somebody see me.
Somebody love me. Somebody choose me."

Don't worry now little Miss Maizie Long Fu Somebody saw you, loved you,
and has chosen YOU!
Mom, Dad, sister and big brothers three
All together, oh my, how happy you'll be!!

Thats how it happened. Maizie is happy today.
The last girl to be placed from Group 16A.
And we are all pleased and shouting with cheers Because the wet on our
cheeks are from such happy tears!
