Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
~Robert Frost

"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break."
~Chinese Proverb
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 you one –
One became your guiding star. The other became your sun.
The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it.
The first gave you a need to love, the second was there to give it.
One gave you a nationality, the other gave you a name.
One gave you a 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 sought for you a home that she could not provide,
The other prayed for a child and her hope was not denied.
And now you ask me through your tears
The age old question, unanswered through the years.
Heredity or environment? Which are you a product of?
Neither, my darling, neither. Just two different kinds of love.

Not flesh of my flesh,
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously my own.
Don't forget for a single minute,
You grew not under my heart
But in it.
