Are You Pregnant? : 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 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.
