There was a girl with skin as dark as the earth
and a boy with eyes as blue as the deep
and they loved each other so well
that people could not tell them apart;
for in their hearts,
there was no difference between them.
This beautiful poem was part of an adoption announcement from some friends of ours. I liked it enough to add it permanently to the side of the blog, but wanted to create a post, too. Thanks, Karin, for letting me "borrow it".
