A few posts back I told you about a gift that I received from a co-worker of my sister's. As well as the wonderful outfit she also included this beautiful poem, so I wanted to share it with all you guys.

TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF LOVE

A Poem for 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 yours one.

One became your guiding star

The other became your sun.

The first gave you life

and the second taught you to live in it.

The first gave you a need for love

And the second was there to give it.

One gave you nationality

The other gave you a name.

One gave you the seed of talent

The other gave you an aim.

One gave you emotions

The other calmed your fears.

One saw your first sweet smile

The other dried your tears.

One gave you up -- it was all that she could do

The other prayed for a child.

And God led her to you.

And now you ask me through the tears

The age old questions through the years

Heredity of Environment --

Which are you a product??

Neither my darling -- neither

Just two different kinds of love
