Given up ‘n Saved
Given
up at birth? Yes.
For
a new life? Yes.
For
a good life? Yes.
To
be loved, nurtured and sheltered by
two
wonderful parents.
Eleven
months later a brother appeared
Yes,
the jealousy commenced, but the love was still there.
At
age five I asked...
Was
I born or was I adopted?
I
was lovingly answered...
You
were chosen!
What
is this? I asked..
We
were fortuitous to have chosen you from
everyone
else.
That
is why you are so special!
Fittingly
the years drifted by...
I
began to realize how special..
In
ways such as being blessed with:
two
loving parents
beautiful
home(s)
selfless
acts of generosity
Yes,
discipline of course.
Every
opportunity one could wish for
Every
opportunity one would need
Every
opportunity one should have
Every
opportunity one should receive
and
the pleasure to give back.
Why
do you always worry so, I asked..
because
we are concerned for your welfare.
More
distant down the road
I
have everything I have ever desired..
Stable
with a good home
Stable
with good parents
Stable
with good friends
Stable
with good plans...
Suddenly
this altered.
My
mom was now alone
Now
I found myself rather defenseless.
As
I was asked to take care of her in someway
Bringing
up my background again
Required
some questioning of health
I
uncovered all the unanswered questions, other siblings
and
everyone else
Feelings
of crashing came over me in more ways than one
I
had returned from a journey
I
was home safe once again
Crash,...yes
I did
A
massive off-road boulder I only recollect
It
remains still a fog
My
mom was now there again for me
And
the Lord up above.
My
mom, the guardian she always was
My
mom, the guardian she will always be
My
mom, the guardian I cherish and love.
Without
her....my life....I was unable to see.
Inappropriate
and understanding relief
from
one’s who are trained to treat.
Where
can I turn now
as
my physical condition slips further away
The
pain is debilitating and difficult to accept
I
need my strength and endurance back
I
know who can help
Who’s
always been there.....my MOTHER!
