Who never knew each other...
Two different lives
Shaped to make yours one.
One became you guiding star,
The other became your sun.
The first gave you life,
And the second taught you to live it.
The first gave you a need for love,
And the second was there to give it.
One gave you nationality,
The other gave you a name.
One gave you the seed of talent,
The other gave you an aim.
One gave you emotions,
The other calmed your fears.
One gave you up-
It was all that she could do.
The other prayed for a child
And God led her straight to you.
And now you ask me
The age old question.
Through your tears,
Through the years:
Heredity or environment-
Which are you a product of?
Neither, my darling- neither,
Just two different kinds of love.
