What Family Tree, There Is None

There I was born 65v years ago no knowledge of my mum and dad I was taken into a children's home that's where I was many thought sad But my hope was about to come good a fine couple came to collect me six long weeks I was in that home till my register was legal to agree So no blood relation do I have cut off from family or any tie no connection in tree and branch cut down at root just left to die Thankfully that fine couple adopted me they gave me a cord to live life for free so thankful when others have nothing I am one, lived happily with no family tree! (Having been adopted at 6 weeks, there's no blood connection for a family tree. Just some thoughts on what that feels.)

G'day Gordon … if you have lived and a happy and fruitful life, this alone many would really love, however, to feel disconnected from a blood line can leave a feeling of emptiness through something missing - a sad but impressive verse Gordon - thank you - Lindsay
