Mother and the Lost Child 'Adoption'

What is life all about in the choices that I make are they all wrong from this nightmare will I ever awake? My heart is bleeding hard the blood slowly runs my God what have I done? Do I see light through the window or just my face as it reflects the choice I have to make who's life will it affect? My tears slowly run as I see your first breath so tiny 'Oh so small' as you snuggle and caress The whole world is for you hoping not to regret but I do it for love never for neglect You can't see me now as they slide you from my arms but I can still hear you cooing as they walk you down the hall Alone I now stand with no life I have planned the emptiness of my soul I just don't understand I wonder the streets at night with no place to call home only grief and sorrow because I know you are gone If God lets me stay and live my life to an older age I pray one day we'll meet in the fields of golden hay Life has come and gone a young woman you have grown with another family who loves you this I am told I know you wish to seek me for I feel the tug in my heart as it bleeds for the baby girl I had to let go the pain is still sharp I know you are close to finding me but here on earth is not to be please don't cry my child I'm with you even though my face is unseen You may feel sad we never got a chance to meet for heaven I have gone But remember this: Each day I looked into the mirror and the face I saw looking back was that baby girl and her soft breath as it blew upon my neck.
