Poems - Just had to share!

To my sweetest Lily and Liam:

“I didn’t give you the gift of life,
But in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real,
As if it had been so.
For us to have each other
Is like a dream come true.
No, I didn’t give you the gift of life,
Life gave me the gift of you”
--Unknown

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 yours one
One became your guiding star, the other became your sun.

The first gave you life, 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 the seed for talent, the other gave you an aim.
One gave you emotions, the other calmed your fears
One saw your first smile, the other dried your tears.

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

Now which of these two women, are you the product of?
Both, my darling, both, just two different kinds of love.
