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!!
