Searching For the Truth

searching for the truth a life-long struggle of who am I a lost child wanting to know her roots substitute parents who adopted me love me enough to let me go so I can unlock the vault of many secrets which holds the keys to my heart and soul dead-end trails of uncertainty, bureaucratic brick walls which bruised my very being, exhaustion would wear me down to the point of giving up and accepting one part of my life a mystery never to be told and taken to a grave buried forever, never shared with the living, one day a persistent feeling came over me----a feeling of perseverance that my truth will be found the monumental day came when there was a knock on my door in which the truth was discovered----a middle-aged couple stood at my doorstep looking straight at me and I knew who they were immediately---my parents from thirty years ago---the ones who gave me up, we are three strangers standing awkwardly at the front door searching for the truth which was eventually found as the missing biological link now, one stone of my life is unturned
