There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

JUNE 24, 2012 -- BENJAMIN'S POEM

A BOND TO CREATE
by Ben Richardson

First thing you'll need,
is a boy or a girl.
Choose wisely, because this will be irreplaceable.
Make sure he or she
has a difficulty.
Now for the mother.
Base with compassion and care.
Add a dash of worry.
Mix with hard experiences.
Mix carefully, not too fast.
Make sure you can see,
a truly inspirational person.
Top off with a few cups of determination.
The last ingredient is
something impossible to add.
It is always there,
no matter what is done.
Set the child and the mother together,
and you will get it.
Love.

Spring 2011
Benjamin wrote this poem as an assignment for school.
It's depth is amazing for a 12 year old boy!
