I CALL HER DAUGHTER

AND SHE CALLS ME MOM

WE ARE NOT RELATED

BY SCARLET DROPS

OR DNA

RATHER WE ARE CONNECTED

HEART TO HEART

HAVING SOLIDIFIED OUR UNION

AS PARENT AND CHILD

IN HER 17TH YEAR

SHE LOST BOTH HER PARENTS

IN THE SAME YEAR

AND WANTED TO FIND

A SAFE PLACE TO STAY

AWAY FROM THE DRINK AND DRUGS

OF HER PEERS' LIVING SITUATIONS

a CLOSE FRIEND TOLD ME

OF HER PLIGHT

WE MET AT A FAST FOOD JOINT

I RECOGNIZED HER RIGHT AWAY

AND KNEW SHE WAS SUPPOSE

TO BE WITH ME

I THOUGHT PERHAPS

FOR JUST A SHORT WHILE

THINKING SHE WOULD

MOVE ON WITHOUT ME SOON

BUT SHE WAS SO WORTH MY TIME

THAT I FORGAVE HER IN ADVANCE

I WATCHED HER WORK

AND GO TO SCHOOL

AND GET HER CAREER

IN RECORD TIME

I WATCHED HER

FALL IN LOVE

AND MARRY HER PRINCE

AND STILL SHE STAYED...

WE HAVE LENT OUR SHOULDERS

SHE AND I

  EACH TO THE OTHER

OVER THE YEARS AND STILL

SHE SHARES HER CHILDREN

AND HER HEART FREELY

WITH HER FOSTER MOM

A BARREN WOMAN

WHO NEEDS HER MORE

THAN SHE'S EVER NEEDED ME...

Connie, you are both truly blessed and worthy of each other. I am glad you found each other, but, as you implied, that was written in the stars.

"I RECOGNIZED HER RIGHT AWAY"

"CONNECTED HEART TO HEART."

AMAZING, ISN'T IT CONNIE? NO MATTER HOW OUR CHILDREN COME TO US WE RECOGNIZE THEM RIGHT AWAY. YOU CANNOT BE A CHILDLESS WOMAN... YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER. I LOVED THIS POEM SO MUCH. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WONDERFUL STORY.

Connie...this is so heart-warming. I have a son that is my son-of-heart in the same sort of way, although he is no longer in my life....I miss him.

VERY COOL STORY...IT'S FUNNY HOW WE SOMETIMES THINK WE ARE DOING SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE ELSE, BUT END UP GETTING SO MUCH MORE IN RETURN

DEAR 'THE LADY'
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING UP THE 'CHILDLESS' PART. I CHANGED IT TO 'BARREN' A WHILE AGO BUT POSTED AN EARLIER VERSION. I HAVE FIXED IT. JUST TELLS ME YOU ARE A GOOD REVIEWER AND VERY OBSERVANT.
