Tessa

Once there were two women, Who never knew each other
One you do not remember, the other one you call mother
Two different lives, shaped to make yours one.
One became your guiding star, the other one became your sun
The first gave you life, and the second taught you to live in 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 one gave you an aim.
One gave you emotions,the other calmed your fears.
One saw your first sweet smile, th 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 enviroment-
Wich are you the product of?
Neither,my darling, neither
Just two different kinds of love.
