Poem
Innocence of a newborn baby remains just that. 
The time of beginnings turned into an ending of 
sorrow and reminders of a lost soul. In a third world 
country Maria had just been born. A single mother, 
Freya, tired from the morphine from having an urgent 
cesarean section. Sleep deprived and alone she struggled 
just to hold her head up. The nursery was taking care of 
Maria as she didn’t have enough strength. She awakes, 
and her new baby was not in her bassinet next to her 
where she should’ve been. There cries a mother. Screaming 
in pain for her lost child. The baby nowhere to be found. The
hospital was searched and Maria was never to be held once 
by her mother. Never to be fed from her breast as planned.
Years went by and Freya searched in a country where there 
was not much help to be found. Relentless she suffered for 
many years. A daughter gone. Blood of a woman who carried 
a baby for over nine months abandoned. Troubled and afraid. 
Tormented, she felt a loss so severe she would never recover. Her 
daughter wasn’t being taken care of the way she should have 
been. She could’ve been dead. Years of questions with every 
muscle in her body aching. She never gave up. There lies 
Maria. Over three decades later laying in her bed every
night feeling different. She looked nothing like her parents. 
Tan skin with dark brown eyes and long brown hair. Her 
parents were fair and light haired. No similarities between 
them and Maria craved to feel a part of a family who truly 
belonged to her. She knew what she had to do. After 
researching at the hospital she was born she found out the 
truth. The labor and delivery nurse stole her and took her 
far away. She had never known she was stolen at birth. 
She had never known her birth mother ever existed. She 
froze. She felt distant. Taking the hospital records she found 
the information she needed. She was distressed and ran 
away as soon as she could. Needing to know her birth mother 
ravaged her brain daily. She pursued every lead. Inquisitive
minds think alike as Freya had still been searching for her. 
Cloudy days bring sadness but this time they brought joy. 
A mother was reunited with her daughter. Hugs can never be 
long enough. The strain of time apart is exhausting and cannot 
be explained. The both of them cried in relief. Departed for 
years, yet never forgotten. Maria didn’t even know how 
complete life could be. She missed her birth mother, even 
though she never knew she existed.
