My
Adoption Legacy
I will always feel
so much more blessed than you others
For
you see, the fact is, I have two mothers.
The
first of the two lovingly brought me into this world to stay
Then
in love, she knew her only son could have a better way
She
yearned to be near but it was only in thought
While
to the second, this tiny baby was brought
She
nurtured, and groomed me for a life that would be great
She
loved me and taught me and led me to a path that was straight
God
has taken her home, never again will I face
The
love and the warmth of her sweet embrace
While
I am still and always will be her only son
The
God of second chances have given me one
Another
mother I have, she is the one who brought me here
Now
through God's grace, I can finally hold her dear
As
I learn of her family and the care, they have wrought
I
feel it is the other that will now be here in thought
I
know in my heart that the person I am now, is the best of each
So
to them both, I owe a debt that I could never reach
I
will use all the love the second taught me to have for another
To
show the first, the love of a son for a mother
Although
I don't understand God's ways, and God's reasons
The
color of the sky or the change of the seasons
I
do understand a mother's love overflows every device
And
when my life is over, I will have experienced it twice
