ONE DAY, MOTHER

In my seventeen years,
my life was great
Never did drugs,
or drank alcohol to escape.
I chose the path,
laid out before me
Fell in love with a man,
and his son, age three.

Attended school,
became a part-time Mom
Jason was his name,
loved him as my son.
Although I was young,
they were my love, my life
It was very hard work,
and I took it all in strife.

Responsible and compassionate,
just like Mother
For all that she gave me,
there could be no other.
Did all that was asked of me,
simply cause I loved
It was the happiest time,
and all that I dreamed of.

Then one day,
while the roads had patches of ice
Two cars collided,
that ended both our lives.
Mine and the lil one,
that was just like my son
Together, as angels,
and our spirits became one.

From Heaven,
I could see Mother, tears in her eyes
Whispered in her ear,
"Chin up, I am right by your side."
HE took us home,
HE had bigger plans for us
Don't cry, Mother,
our spirits are with you from above.

So do what you do best,
keep searching for them
Birthmothers and adoptees,
reunited in the end.
Know that your heart,
is one shared by me
For one day, Mother,
we will again be three.
