The Legacy of an Adopted Child
author unknown
Once there were two women
Who never knew each other.
One you do not remember,
The other you call Mother.
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 guiding star,
The other became your sun.
Shaped to make yours one
One became your guiding star,
The other became your sun.
One gave you your life,
The other taught you how to live it.
One gave you a need for love,
The other was there to give it.
The other taught you how to live it.
One gave you a need for love,
The other was there to give it.
One gave you emotions
The other calmed your fears
One saw your first sweet smile
The other dried your tears.
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 longed for a child to call her own,
Her prayers were not denied.
That she could not provide.
The other longed for a child to call her own,
Her prayers were not denied.
You were born from caring courage,
Nurtured with help from above.
You are the blending, my darling child,
of two different kinds of love.
Nurtured with help from above.
You are the blending, my darling child,
of two different kinds of love.
