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 your one
One became your guiding star, the other became your sun
The first one gave you life, the second one 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 an 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 hopes were not denied.
And now you ask me through your tears
The age old question, unanswered through the years:
Heredity or environment, which are you the product of?
Neither my darling, neither
Just two kinds of love.

OK - what an adventure learning to 'blog' - I must already really love this beautiful child! She is filled with love and God-given purpose. I will say my prayers of gratitude for her, for her awaiting mother, and for those who have kept her safe. XO - J (wildcolt)
