From the moment I discovered your presence
I fell deeply in love with you
I could not have been more frightened
Then when the doctor’s told me I was due

I longed to hold in my arms
Though there you could not stay
My heart shattered in two
When I gave you up that very day

A better life to you I give
As with my decision I must live
A better life for me I pray
And may I meet you again one day

I celebrate your birthday without regret
Because I could not offer you the best
You deserved much better than I had to give
I pray you are happy with the life you live

If you ever wonder if I loved you
If you ever wonder if I cared
Know that no greater love could a mother have
Than the love it took for your misery to be spared

Know that I love you, even still
Know that God loves you and always will

Lyn, I read this with tears in my eyes
as I have my own personal story..
much the same as yours.
With a very surprising and rewarding outcome.

If you care to email me..please feel free to do so.

Very well written poem..could not have said it better myself.
Heart hugs~Nancy


In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.
