Your Adopted Child

(Youth) I wonder where my mother is And why she let me go? I wish I had my mommy So much I need to know How did I come about then where is my father too? Oh I wish I had my mommy She'd know exactly what to do! Who is this woman kissing me, Who's up with me at night? Sometimes I think I hate her And I diss her just for spite! I'll never love her back And someday I won't stay I'll make her very sorry For taking me away (Adult) It's been eighteen years now And I still search for Mother I adamantly resent this woman As I may have sister or brother Siblings that I will never know Except in the face of Hope I'll never stop looking for her I'll stay focused, I must cope Somewhere out there She searches for her boy The one she had to give away The one who brought her joy (Dead) I remember: Lying in the hospital Somewhat paralyzed When an angel stood before me With Glory in her eyes "Come my Son I'll take you home," said Mom, extending her hand All my questions are answered As we followed heavens' plan. Only now can I appreciate My earth mom in a while "I'm here and waiting Mom I love you, Your Adopted Child"

JUDY!!!!!! What an awesome take on this. Proud if you. The content is amazing. Somehow, they always search for the biological parents. A parent is the one who loves. Great write.
