That Maternal Touch

Accidental Poet

For Marion & Joan

 

 

Two mothers

Now since past

One birth, one adoptive

Both mother’s love is first-class

 

My birth mother

I never knew

My adoptive mother

Yeah, I miss her too

 

I feel the need to tell them

I love them so much

Feel their embrace

That maternal touch

 

I don’t know

The reasons why

Our lives led by destiny or chance

Where we end up by-and-by

 

But one thing for certain

One thing for sure

Love stays with you

As you feel its signature

 

A mother’s touch

Of undying love

Within and all around you

Not just from above

    AP, your wonderful poem touches on a very important subject. And I am happy to hear you say that you love them both. No birth mother gives up her child easily. There is always a very strong reason. Which means that love has nothing to do with it. They both love you.

      My birth mother didn't give me up for adoption. While my birth mother was still under medication effects, a social worker came in and had her sign a form which she was first told was a release to take me home. In fact, it was for her to release me to adoption. She was lied to. But that was almost 61 years ago. I know both my mothers love me, and they both know I love them. Thanks for reading and your comment Fred. ; )

        A fine tribute to the mythical mother of pure, unselfish love. Congratulations to those who experienced one.
