Beautiful Poem
Posted by ForrestSanctuary13 - 07/01/08, 04:07 pm
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 one.
One became your guiding star
The other became your sun.
The first gave you life
And the other taught you to live 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 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 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 the product of
neither, my darling, neither
Just two different kinds of love.
