Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is foster children and adoption.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A Mother’s Day poem from an adopted daughter to her adoptive
mother:
For all that you have given me,
I can return but love. For you
Bound up the wounds I did not see
And gave me hopes and passions new.
I can return but love for you,
Whose unmoved faith my heart did move,
And gave me hopes and passions new,
And loved me till I turned to love.
Whose unmoved faith did my heart move?
The mother of my heart, not blood,
Who loved me till I turned to love.
And I became the soul I would.
The mother of my heart, not blood,
Bound up the wounds I did not see.
And I became the soul I would
For all that you have given me.
