“Sweet child, what questions do you have for me?
You will begin to learn of your adoption as you grow,
You will have many questions, I know.
Ask any questions you have of me
The truth will set us both free. “
“Do you ever think of me?”
Baby boy, I think of you every night and day
I think of you asleep and at play!
I think of my arms hugging you
And kissing your cheek too.
“Did you want to keep me?”
I wanted to keep you more than you will ever know,
It was the hardest thing I ever did, letting you go.
I have and will always keep you in my heart,
You were a part of me right from the start.
“Do you love me?”
I love you with every inch of my soul,
The best possible life for you was my goal.
You could not live on love alone,
You needed a Mom and Dad and a stable home.
“Was there something wrong with me?”
Heavens no, you were perfect in every way
With me, I wanted you to stay!
But doing for your child what is best,
Is every mother’s greatest test.
“So, do I tell people I have 2 moms?”
Don’t be ashamed of it honey, yes, you do
That’s a very special part of you!
You can proudly say you have two Moms that care.
Their undying love for you is something they will always share.
Never be afraid to ask me any questions at all,
I am here for you whenever you call.
I did what I thought was best for you,
And I hope one day you’ll understand that too!
