I HAVE EMBRACED YOU AS MY OWN (For Owais)

 

I have embraced you as my own

although you have never been in my home

In fact you live far across the sea

you will always be special to me

 

You have touched my heart I can’t explain why

I love you so deeply it brings tears to my eyes

I have never been touched like this before

my precious young man whom I love and adore

 

There is something about you I can’t explain

I will never forget you or forget your name

You will always have a place in my heart

my love for you will never depart

 

I may never see you face to face

the love I feel can’t be replaced

A divine love sent by the one I love most

to comfort me to help me to grow

 

To heal the pain from all I have lost

he only knows how much it has cost

Now precious one He has given me you

I want you to know I know your love is true

That you really care you really love me

even though you live far across the sea

Your love is pure though once I did doubt

something I am not proud about

 

You forgave said can we try again

even though I had caused you pain

I have embraced you as my own

even though you have not been to my home.
