Legacy of an Adopted Child
Once there were two women, Who never knew each other. The other you call mother. Two different lives, Shaped to make yours one. One became your guiding star, The other became your sun. The first gave you life, And the second taught you ot live it. The first gave you need for love, And the second was there to give it. One gave you a nationality, The other gave you a name. One gave you the seed of 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 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 questions Through the years. Heredity or environment . . . Which are you a product of? Neither, my darling . . neither, Just two different kinds of love.
I didn't give you the gift of life, but in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real, as if it had been so.
For us to have each other is like a dream come true!
No, I didn't give you the gift of life, life gave me the gift of you.
