A Mother's Dream

A mother's dream torn apart. Wishing that she could keep the ones that she gave birth to. 
Two little girls so free and wild I long to know where they are. My babies are gone I lost 
them because of mistakes that I made in the past. I miss when I was holding my girls. Never 
will they know each other, never will they be in my life, because I gave them up. A dream 
that I had as a child to be the mother that I never had, now I failed to do that for my first 
two. Such a great joy that I had when I gave birth. Between the two labor and deliveries that 
I had I don't know which one was the worst. The girls were born so lovely and beautiful, just 
like me except they had their fathers's skin colors. A mother's dream to raise her own, yet 
now I sit here sulking in my pain as I cry and moan because I lost them both to the state. I 
had them at very young ages and I can't do anything but praise God that they have families 
that love and care for them like I wish I could.
