be-musings

Here's a writing I found years ago.

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 you one.
One became a guiding star, the other became your sun.
The first gave you life and the second taught you to live it.
The first gave you need for love and the second was there to give it.
One gave you nationality, the other gave you a name.
One gave you a 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, through your fears
The age old questions, unanswered through the years.
Heredity or environment...which are you the product of?
Neither my darling...neither
Just two different kinds of love.


Thank you, Marci and Sean for entrusting us with this child of ours. It is a gift.
