The Power of Words

I may have posted this before but I thought it was worth posting again. We are still waiting for our little miracle!

Legacy of an Adopted Child

Once there were 2 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 your guiding star. The other became your sun.
The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it.
The first gave you a need for love, the second was there to give it.
One gave you a nationality, the other gave you a name.
One gave you a talent, the other gave you aim.
One gave you emotions, 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 prayed for a child and her hope was not denied.
And now you ask me through your tears The age-old question, unanswered through the years.Heredity or environment. Which are you a product of?
Neither, my darling. Neither. Just two different kinds of love.
