Knitted in My Soul

You were not knitted in my womb,

But you were knitted in my soul.

You did not come to me through contractions,

But you came to me through prayer.

You do not have my blood running through your veins, 

But you have my love in the kisses all over your face.

You do not look much like me,

But you still fit perfectly in my arms.

You are not flesh of my flesh, 

But I love you with every fiber of my being.

You may not have all the answers to your questions, 

But you will always have my support in your quest. 

You are not lucky to be adopted, 

But we cannot imagine life without you.

You may not always feel it,

But you, my soul baby, are an overcomer.
