I've seen the family, the family that is both yours and mine Instead of feeling free though, I think I feel even more intwined I do not hate you, I know that is what you must feel I just don't know what to say to you, I'm not sure how to deal-- If we were to come face to face Would you cry, would you recognize my face? My eyes are the same I'm told Would you ask God for forgiveness, and his loving Grace? Or...would you laugh cold and hard at the goodness that I show Hot tears sting my face Why you ask? Because I know it's something I'll never know I've willed myself over the years To not feel anything for you Still though I hold so much within And I wonder is feeling sorrow for you a sin? If we were to come face to face Would you pass me by without a second glance And would I despite knowing what my mind tells me want to give you a second chance? I am not sure of many things, but this much I do know We always reap the things that we sew So I will continue to plant my seeds of love I learned that from my Angel above And...if we do ever come face to face I'll put on a blank stare for you For I wouldn't want you to know that despite everything It's a little spark of kindness you see in my eyes of blue "When life gives you sorrow, may you experience the spirit of laughter" |

Your poem is loving and heart felt. It's a shame when we offer the olive branch and it gets broken in two. Hugs to you, Amy~ |

Thank you all for your continued words of support and love. This is about my birthmother, someone I should have stopped caring about long ago, but seem not to know how. Long and complicated story, and I thank you all for listening/reading. Hugs, Amy "When life gives you sorrow, may you experience the spirit of laughter" |

Hugs Amy...and love your way... I would hope that you would wait until you saw what was in her eyes, but I would have to guess the love would be in hers as it would be, in yours... |

For I wouldn't want you to know that despite everything It's a little spark of kindness you see in my eyes of blue hoping some day all your dreams will come true M |
