How to put into words just how I feel The things I’ve had to conceal The anger I feel inside These emotions I must hide. I wanted what is best for you I did not know what to do The guilt that lives with-in Just when did all this begin? How it came to be That it was you we wouldn’t see What could I have done? To save my sister’s daughter & son The only possible option Was a legal adoption? The best is to leave you be Adopted by your Foster Family I wanted to stay in touch But people thought it was too much With this I do not agree However, I could not keep you with me. I have no doubt you are in good hands & hope some day that you will understand I had to let you go So that you were able grow. I will think of you every day As I sit hope, wonder & pray That the day will come That I will see my Sister’s daughter & son I will wait patiently For you to come meet you’re biological family
