ONCE THERE WERE TWO WOMEN
WHO NEVER KNEW EACH OTHER
ONE YOU DO NOT REMEMBER
THE OTHER YOU CALL MOTHER.
TWO DIFFERENT LIVES
SHAPED TO MAKE YOURS ONE.
ONE BECAME YOUR 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 A NATIONALITY,
THE OTHER GAVE YOU A NAME.
ONE GAVE YOU A SEED OF TALENT,
THE OTHER GAVE YOU AN AIM.
ONE GAVE YOU EMOTIONS,
THE OTHER CALMED YOUR FEARS.
ONE SAW YOUR FIRST SWEET SMILE.
THE OTHER DRIED YOUR TEARS.
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 THROUGH
YOUR TEARS,
THE AGE--OLD QUESTION THROUGH
THE YEARS:
HEREDITY OR ENVIRONMENT
WHICH ARE YOU THE PRODUCT OF?
NEITHER, MY DARLING--NEITHER.
JUST TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF LOVE..
