Strong

How am I supposed to care

Without caring too much 

How am I supposed to 

Spend every waking hour

Feeding

Changing

Holding

Snuggling 

Teaching 

Making you a part of our family 

Without becoming "too attached"

How am I supposed to 

Show you love

Let you in 

Create this life for you

Without becoming "too involved" 

The training

The hours of listening 

To what might happen

Don't even begin to prepare you

For the unknown

Out of control

Forever long process 

That has so many possibilities

Praying that God 

Is looking out for you

That he will keep you safe

That our paths are meant to 

Stay together 

Because as strong as I can be 

I really don't want to have to be 

This strong anymore...
