Feeling Nostalgic

The other day my mom gave me a box of a while bunch of things that she had saved for me throughout the years. There were tests, pictures I had colored or drawn, and other odds and ends. One of the things I stumbled upon was given to me sometime in middle school. I can't remember if one of my teachers gave it to me or if it was one of my friends, but I remembered how much I loved it and I just wanted to share it today. 

(As a side note because a lot of people do not know this about me, I am, in fact, adopted. It's not something that I am ashamed of. It has been a very instrumental part of my life and has helped shaped me and the decisions that I make)

LEGACY OF AN ADOPTED CHILD

Once there were two women who never knew each other
One you do not remember, the other you call Mother

Two different lives shaped to make you one
One became your guiding star, the other became your sun

The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it
The first gave you a need for love, the second was there to give it

One gave you a nationality, the other gave you a name
One gave you a talent, the other gave you aim

One gave you emotions, the other calmed your fears
One saw your first sweet smile, the other dried you tears

One made an adoption plan, that was all that she could do
The other prayed for a child, and God led her straight to you.

Now, which of these two women, Are you the product of?
Both, my darling, Both, Just two different types of love.
