Poem

Someone gave me a poem and the author is unknown, but when I read it ...it made me think of the passage in the book of Mormon about the "olive tree" and it gave me great insight to how the Lord might in the last days bring renewal to the earth through families adopting and sharing the gospel through adoption. Here's the poem:

Our Family Tree

We added to our family tree A stronger one to make, A child from another plant has Just as a limb is grafted from one tree to another, It alters and improves the plant in making it unique and like no other. Our family tree has been improved, Adoption made this so. For love, much more than bloodlines, Is what makes us thrive and grow. We chose to share our life and love and all the joys to come. Our "Family Tree" has blossomed With the arrival of our cherished one.

Take a child from a dysfunctional family and put them in a gospel oriented functional family and see the change in this one child's path and can lead to generations of her prosperity in righteousness.
