Adoption Legacy

Once there were two women
who never knew each other,
One you do not rember
The other you call mother

One you gave nationality
The other gave you a name,
One gave you the seed of talent
The other gave you a aim.


Two different lives shaped
To make your one;
One became your guiding star,
The other became your sun.


One gave you emotion
The other calmed your fears,
One saw your first sweet smile
The other dried your tears.


The first gave you life,
The second taught you to live it.
The first gave you a need for love
And the second was there to give it.


One gave you up
It was all 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 enviroment which one are you a product of?
Neither my darling, neither
Just two different kinds of love!
