Trading Places
When you came you were so small All of our lives were a puzzle then With tears and thanksgiving we watched you grow
And now they say it is time for you to go Now look what has happened © Michelle Winberry
You had hardly begun your life at all
We brought you into our home and hearts
With expectations of giving you a brand new start
You were a puzzle piece needing a place to fit in
Your piece was welcomed
We remade our puzzle for you
And in loving you we all grew
Until now your life is something we knew
So completely from first minute to last
We cannot believe so much time has passed
Unknowing how it hurts us so
But puzzles always must be put up
And breaking the pieces apart must be done
See what God has done
You once were a piece in our puzzle
Filled with smiling faces
Now we are a piece in yours
We have traded places…
