Alina Looks West
In her eyes
there is sadness
and hope
faith that something better
awaits.
Outstretched hands
grasping to hold on
invisible lifeline
cling tight baby girl
jaw is set
resolute
mom and dad
will come for you
Artemovsk is home
but only for awhile
home is where your eyes are
home is where your heart is.
Home.
is where you are.
Safe, loved, claimed.
Ava is home.

Thank you Michelle. Of course you know you had me and my whole family bawling with that one, didn't you? I can't sleep for the adrenaline rush. I look forward to getting to know you more in the weeks and months ahead. Thank you for all your wonderful advice, support, prayers. We are HOME. Alina is no longer an orphan!
