Closure

So much was taken from me before my life began By just one choice made by just one man First you took my aunt, then my Mom and Dad You took from me the life I never had My whole life consumed… My mom NEVER stopped searching for you No name, no face, no age, no race… Not one single clue. As children do, I did what my mom did. I started looking for you when I was just a kid For 19 years my dad paid for what you did While you had a family, got to raise your kids Now that you have a name, your secret has been told the heartache and brokenness no longer have a hold Though your evil hand took what was to be You no longer have the power to take anything from me. By Melissa Lane-Morgan Branch Dedicated to my family
