I'm fairly new to the site and I would like to share with all of you a poem I wrote.

Julie

Birthmother’s Silent Grief

The sadness never allowed

The grief pushed aside

The dreams never realized

Our feelings denied

The “forgotten” never forgotten

The pain very real

But no one understanding

How we really do feel

All the shame that’s been felt

The secrets well hidden

The tears cried inside

Our forgiveness never forgiven

A hope dared to hope

A faith never learned

A Birthmother’s longing
For years not returned
