Every one today has many different ways to saying how/what way you show love. Some times showing love and giving love can be the hardest thing you have every done.
This is so true as to any woman that has placed their child for adoption, this is to you ~ Thank you. I realize that you may not hear that to often or maybe even never. I say this from the fact that I am adopted so I mean this with all my heart>
I received this in an email today from an old friend. Life is interesting as you never know what others have gone through and how similar your lives may be.
It's by Oscar Hammerstein "Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay. Love isn't Love, til you give it away..."
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
And the other became your sun
The first gave you life
And 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 a nationality
The other gave you a name
One gave you the seed of talent
The other gave you an 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
