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 yours one
One became
your shining star
The other
became your sun
The first
gave you life
and the second
taught you to live in it
The first
gave you a need for love
And the second
was there to give it
One gave you
nationality
The other
gave you a name
One gave
you the seed of talent
The other
gave you aim
One gave you
emotions
the other
calmed your fears
One saw your
first smile
the other
dried your tears
One gave you
up - it was all she could do
The other
prayed for a child
And God led
her to you
And now you
ask me through the tears
The age old
questions through the years
Heredity
or Environment - which are you a product?
Neither my
darling - neither
Just two
different kinds of love!
I dedicate
this beautiful poem to my beautiful new found sister,
Judy
I love
you sis!!
