Mothers Day 1992

My first mothers day as a mom or not!
Giving birth a special point in every womans life.
Well it happened to me last September.
The greatest gift I would ever receive.
She was so beautiful, I fell in love with her instantly.
So tiny and precious, a gift only God could give.
Such a gift, so sad yet happy.
A gift I could not care for.
One I knew I would have to give to another.
But how she was a part of me for over nine months and always will be.
So how could I bear to do such a thing?
Well let me say it's not easy,
but I did it for love!

P.S. I will always love you Betty
