One Act of Kindness By: Amy M. Kennedy Fate and Destiny have always played their part They ruled my world right from the start That one act of kindess, started the beginning A chain reaction of events, never to be the same You loved me before you even knew my name So much love fills my heart for the two of you Where I am at today is because of your love, I know this to be true So as another chapter of my life comes to a close My love for you continues to flourish and grow Unselfish love is all that you ever gave me You showed me how life could be, you made me see Never asking me for more than I can give You pushed me to always do my best, to really live Mom, you're now in heaven, but Dad is still here But both of you are in my heart, equally near Adoption, something I now look at with pride I no longer ask myself the question why Mom, you gave me love and taught me the finer points of living You always were there for me, always so giving You taught me to be true to me To never allow anyone to capture my soul and not let it be free Dad you make me laugh like noone else can Wiped scraped up knees, always reaching out your hand So now as a dream of mine is about to come true I just wanted to state my love and to tell you, Thank You! Without you I am not complete, only a part of myself I may not be rich in money, but in love, I have millions in wealth So, as I begin a new chapter I want you to know Never have nor will I forget that special gift...my adoption seventeen years ago! ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ This was written for my Mom in heaven and for my Daddy. As the poem illustrates 17 years ago I was adopted. Next month I graduate from college...I just wanted to say thanks to my two angels who saved my life in more than one way!

your just not happy unless your pulling on my heartstrings are you(SMILE) this is perfect and pure... pure with your love, sincerety and grace. yes this beautiful poem is a lovely tribute to your parents....but the real tribute to them is the poet that wrote it... you do them more justice and honor than any poem ever could... love ya amy-girl jm ps...wheres my update on Sunday? LOL  Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |
