2 WOMEN, 1 CHILD, NO REGRET (A Story
of Adoption)
Two
different women
Separated
in this world
One
wishing she could get pregnant
The
other gave birth to a girl
One
has a lot to give
The
other is poor and scared
One
desperately wants to be a mom
The
other is lost in fear
One
decide to adopt
The
other will give up her seed
One
wants a little girl
The
other just wants to be free
Two
different women
Both
have a decision to make
Knowing
that it will change their lives
Or
forever just let their hearts ache
Two
different women
Both
have something to gain
One
would gain motherhood
The
other a lifetime of pain
One
made a decision
To
make her child’s life great
The
other made a vow
That
any child she’d appreciate
And
so the exchange were made
The
child now has a new mom
The
old mom cried
As
her young daughter leaves home
The
daughter grew up
Happy
and serene
But
one thing was missing from her life
Is
knowing her biological gene
She
knew the woman
Who
taught her how to live
But
who was the woman
She
would eventually have to forgive
Who
was the woman
Who
brought her in this world
The
woman who planted perseverance
In
the heart of a little girl
Who
was the woman
Who
never nursed her back to health
The
woman who traded her happiness
So
her daughter could live in wealth
I
know she had to be aching
To
let her little girl go
But
I can’t imagine living without my mom
The
one who loves me so
Now,
who would have the right of claim
If
she ever wanted me back
Would
I have to go to someone I don’t know
Or
stay with my family intact
I
want to say “thank you”
To
the woman who created me
Thank
you for letting me leave
To
find a family who loves me for me
I
want to say “thank you”
To
the woman who offered me a home
The
one who didn’t care
Whether
I was a product of her chromosome
So
I am thanking two strong women
To
whom I will forever be in debt
Whose
decision has inspired this poem
Two
women, one child, no regret!
