Legacy of an Adopted Child








Once there were two women





Who never knew each other.





One you do not remember





The other you call Mother.

Two different lives









Shaped to make you one.





One became your guiding star





The other became your sun.

The first one gave you life





And the second taught you to live it.





The first gave you a need for love





The second was there to give it.

One gave you a nationality





The other gave you a name.





One gave you a talent





The other gave you aim.

One gave you emotions





The other calmed your fears.





One saw your first sweet smile





The other dried your tears.

One sought for you a home





That she could not provide.





The other prayed for a child





And her hope was not denied.

And now you ask me through your tears





The age old question unanswered through the years.





Heredity or environment





Which are you a product of?





Neither my, Darling, neither.





Just two different kinds of Love.
