Once there where two women
Who never knew each other
One you do not remember,
The other you call Mother

Two different lives
shaped to make yours one;
One became your guilding star,
The other became your sun.

The first gave you Life,
The second taught you to live in 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 youthe seed of 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 gave you up,
It was all that she could do
The other prayed for a child.
And god led her straight to you

And now you ask me through your tears,
The age old question through the years;
Heredity or environment....which are you
the product of?

Neither,my darling, neither;
Just two different kinds of love.
