The Poet On The Farm

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sometimes the road bends where you least expect Through the broken places, light finds a way in A message from a poet on a farm Two open hearts already stealing mine Before I even knew what love could mean [Chorus] Love is not just blood, it's what we choose It's the hands we hold, the hearts we refuse to lose Out of all the broken pieces, something whole was made A family built on love that never fades [Verse 2] Kim, you opened up your world to me Let me love them like they were my own Brandon with his spirit, Haley with her light You gave me something I had never known The gift of being someone's mom A name I wear like a quiet, sweetest song [Chorus] Love is not just blood, it's what we choose It's the hands we hold, the hearts we refuse to lose Out of all the broken pieces, something whole was made A family built on love that never fades [Bridge] One day closer to the house, one day closer to it all One day closer to retirement, hand in hand through every fall Now one day closer to a little one we're waiting to call [Verse 3] Eighteen years since that first message came A poet with two kids and dreams like rain Now look at all this peace beneath our roof Kim, every sacrifice you made is proof That what we built is stronger than we knew And every day I'm grateful I found you [Outro] So much still ahead, so much still to see One day closer, love, you and me Kim, you made me a mother, and you made us a family
