Once there were
Two women,
Who never knew
Each other,
One you do
Not remember
The other
you call Mother
One gave
You emotions,
The other calmed
Your fears,
One saw your
Firsr sweet smile
The othr dried
Your tears,
Two dfferent lives,
Shaped to make
Yours one
One became your
Guiding star,
The other became
Your sun
One gave you up,
It was all
She could do,
The other prayed
For a child,
And God led her
Straight to you
The first gave
You life,
The second taught
You how to live it
The first gave you
A need for love,
The second was there
To give it
And now you ask me ,
Through your tears,
The age
Old question,
Through the
Years
One gave you
A nationality,
The other gave
You a name
One gave you
A seed of talent,
The other gave
You an aim
Heredity or envionment,
Which are you
The product of?
Neither,
my darling
Neither,
Just two different
Kinds of love!
