The Legacy Of An Adopted Child
Once there were two angels, who never knew each other,
One you don't remember, the other you call Mother.
They had two different lives, shaped to make yours one,
One became your shining star, the other became your sun.
The first one gave you life, the second taught you to live it,
The first one gave you a need for love, the second was there to give it.
One gave you a heart, the other gave you a name,
One gave you your talents, the other gave you aim.
One gave you emotions, the other calmed your fears,
One gave you her beautiful eyes, the other dried your tears.
One prayed for you a home that she could not provide,
The other prayed for a child, and she was not denied.
So now you know God smiled on you from Heaven up above,
When he sent two angels with two different kinds of love!!!
