One World

 Emily smiled softly and happily and she sang to the shower head.

"I hear a baby crying
A sad sound, a lonely sound
I want to take her in my arms
And then I dry away all her tears

I see a boy, who's frightened
A young boy, with old eyes
I long to say 'You're welcome here,
You can be happy now that you're warm'
We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then you will find deep down inside
I'm just like you


Loud voices raised in anger
Speak harsh words, such cruel words
Why do they speak so selfishly
When we have got so much we can share?

So let your hearts be open
And reach out with all your love
There are no strangers now
They are our brothers now
And we are one 

We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then will find deep down inside
I'm just like you


We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then will find deep down inside
I'm just like you

I'm just like you"

She smiled changing into a pair of pajamas she had found in her room leaving her hair wrapped in a towel.
She stopped looking at the smiling Casey. "What? What did I do?"
Casey shook her head still smiling, "Nothing sweetheart. Want some tea?"
Emily smiled and nodded. She enjoyed quality time with her new parents, but she was worried. What would her mom and dad say about quality time after the babies joined the family? What if she wasn't needed any more?


Like most adopted kids, Emily's thoughts leaned towards the prospect that she wouldn't be wanted once they had biological children of their own.
