Who never knew each other
One you do not remember
The other you call mother
One gave you a nationality
The other gave you a name
One gave you the seed of talent
The other gave you an aim.
Two different lives shaped
to make yours one
One became your guiding star
The other became your sun.
One gave you emotions
The other calmed your fears
One saw your first sweet smile
The other dried your tears.
The first gave you life
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 up,
It was all she could do.
The other prayed for a child,
And God led her straight to you
And now you ask me through your tears,
The age old question through the years;
Heredity or Environment, which are you a product of?
Neither my darling, neither
JUST TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF LOVE
