Little White Crane
It's one of the rarest birds in the world, of course it migrates hundreds of miles to be embraced by your place of birth. How perfect that this majestic and one of the rarest creatures would find refuge and peace in the very place the Almighty brought you your first breath. How amazing it will be for you to look back in wonder that this same creator who gave you the gift of life could bring you across the expanse of the world to also be embraced in the loving arms of the parents he had destined you to be with all along. These two hearts yearning for you, yearning to love you, yearning to hold you, yearning to be your friend, to watch you laugh, make funny faces, giggle, jump like a bunny, whatever makes your eyes dance and joy come to your soul that's what they want. And for all the love, care, and sacrifice they give they ask only one thing in return, the honor of simply knowing; you, everyday of your life. And that "every day" can be when you're sad, when you're sick, when your heart is broken, when you're driving them crazy, when you're grown and even when your kids are driving you crazy. And when they are old and you are too, remember this, there was a little white crane in China, thousands of miles away and many years ago that needed to be embraced, and this couple, this man, this woman, your Mom, your Dad reached across the great ocean and yearned to embrace you before they ever had a chance to touch your face, smell your hair or had a chance to make your eyes dance and joy come into your soul.
