Do you? By: Amy M. Kennedy Do you remember me? I remember you I wonder what you look like now, wonder what you do Do you think of me, and wonder where I went? Well I will take a moment to tell you about the two parents I recieved, who were angel sent They are the two most amazing people I have ever known And with the help of their love and understanding, I have grown The girls are doing good, sorry but they don't know who you are Part of me feels it knows you, part of me feels like your a distant star I know we will never meet, and I think thats for the best For when I was adopted, God gave me a test I am loyal to the parents who raised me, for they have my heart Soon as I met them I loved them from the start Still now that I am a woman, I find my thoughts every now and then go back to a former time I wonder what your life is like now, and wonder if you wonder about mine Praying that you found your way, and that you and God made amends We don't ever know what life has in store for us, or what's around the bend Need to take a moment to say two words I know you'll never hear, but thank you just the same You gave me birth, you gave me love, and you gave me a name My name is different now, and I think I have changed But as the saying goes, "no loss no gain" You would probably be surprised to know a little something, I do not hate you No in fact a part of me always has and always will love you ~this poem is dedicated to my biological mom who was forced to give up me and my two sisters seventeen years ago. ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |

Amy~ Honey, rest assured she wonders. She also would be happy knowing that you have loving parents. Mom's are like that ... Amy, it's nice of you to share these feelings with us. ~HUGS~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I'm sure she thinks of you often.... I have a dear friend that was adopted. We found his biological mother a year ago and she has yet to agree to meet him. Now, he's reconciled to that...he too has the world's best parents....kind and loving..so he is in no hurry to meet this biological mother.  |

I wanted to take a moment to tell both of you thank you very much! My adoption was hard on me...but through the years, I've learned a lot about life and love...and I realize that all happens for a reason. Once again, thanks for responding!

Amy, I too am adopted, my real parents are gone so I did not ever wonder were they might be, but I did not have the fortune to get loving foster parents, and it has been only in the last five years that I have truly experienced love through my mother inlaw. She has tought me so much and given me the love I always knew was supost to be there. Thank you so much for sharing these feelings. Cerenity-1 |

I wont say that i know how you feel here because it wouldn`t be an honest statement. I will say that you are a very lucky lady to have parents as wonderful as those that you`ve written about here. The love that you have for your parent`s show here in your writing. And know that your mother is thinking of you just as our thought`s will always be with our children. Thank your for sharing so much of you. [This message has been edited by RufffRyder (edited 02-27-2000).] |

I also certain that she thinks about you every day of her life Your poem so sweet and yet so sad I do also have a dear friend that is looking to find his mother, I can only imagine but I do know how he feels. My thoughts and prayers are with you, perhaps some day.... I hope for you. Your Foster parents must be very proud of you and I can see how much you love them. Ps. I'm helping my friend to find his mothers through the net, there are many resources that can be used. The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |
