Happy Birthday, Mother of

April 4, 2020

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 birthday poem from an adopted daughter to her newly-discovered birth mother:

Happy birthday, mother of

A dream undreamed, unveiled at last,

Portion of a past unpassed,

Part I'd not partaken of,

Yet one in which my self was cast.

Before I knew of you, I knew

Inside myself your whispered word,

Remembering what I'd never heard,

The me that was exactly you.

How glad I am that we now share

Directly that long love unseen,

A gift from you that's always been,

Yet now for me is always there.
