I grew up wondering who gave
me this face?

When you walked away, you left without a trace..

Someone came around, comforted me and gave me my place.

I was raised with love and laughter and full of grace...


At times I wondered what I had done? why did you let go of me?

You dropped my hand and just let me be...

My leaf had dropped from your family tree...

So much you missed, so much you could never see..


I now have a family of my own, I wanted you to know..

I nurtured them, and love them and watched them all grow...

I show them my heart and my soul that I bestow...

At times they can sense that I am hurting and that my spirits are low...



I have always wonder, on our last day, did you shed a tear...

And were you ashamed when people pointed and began to sneer..

In my teenage years, was I thought of? Did you sense that I was ever near?

Did you ever have dreams of where I was? and did you ever have any fears?


I thank you for giving me life, there could have been other choice's to make...

I never once thought that I was a mistake..

I looked for you, while you were on your break...

My adoptive family never thought I was a fake..



You would be proud of the woman I've grown into...

I was loved so much, but some how I think you always knew...

I but you missed me and at times you were blue..

I will always love you for making my dreams become true..

Susie,
I couldn't help but think that your feelings are so much like mine in many ways...however it's from the birthmother's point of view.
What really caught my attention was the format and phrasing for your poem. I read it as if it were my own...it's beautiful.
