...along comes a surprise you did not expect


Poem Artwork

Reading about
International adoptions
Makes me think of
My own experience
She was from my own state
But has an exotic look
And is often quite mysterious
She came upon a Christmas time
The Social Worker said
Her name is Star
The years went by
And she asked me if
I would help her find her roots
I did and then she left me flat
And my heart cracked open in two
The blood rushed out
And I felt real bad
We've reunited now and I
Forgot the years of sad
Surprise is a part of life
And for that I am glad

touching words. i think we all have a need to find where we come from, but where we have been does not become less important. sometimes one just has to get their priorities sorted out.

Nice tribute to mother. R

It was necessary for her to find her root, but deep inside she knew who the real mother is most of the time, and she is the one who has helped her and be with her when she grew up.

A wonderful picture of star!...a beautiful young lady!

There is no question about the unquestioning love of a mother. I for one am happy for you.
