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 intertwined
helped to shape your one
The first is your guiding star,
the second is your sun

One gave you life,
and the other taught you to live it
One prepared you for love,
the other was there to give it

One gave you a nationality
the other gave you a name
One gave you 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 drams were not denied

Nature or nurture -
which are you the product of?
Both, my darling, both,
just two different kids of love.
