My Birthday!

Today is my birthday To celebrate my life Fifty-one years ago A woman had a choice So she gave me away For that she has no voice Into the arms of another family I went It’s been years I ‘v silently vent God makes plans for all those in need I guess my Mother could effort to feed Gone from her hand Gone from a strange land Here in America I had to learn new speech I will always thank God for his lessons That reach I have had a better life I just wish I could get rid of this emotional strife I carry and whole in the pit of my heart You see I never know my blood Mother At birth we had to part! 2/24/08
