My Own Child

bobaty
15 years ago

I was on a few days ago and saw somthing about adoptive parents and step-parents being different that BP. I am adoptied so that really bothered me, my Mom passed away two years ago and while going through her stuff (as I am the only child) I found this little poem. I think that this will aply to SP and adoptive parents now just so every one knows I am a BM also of three wonderfull children and have SKs.

I

Did not plant you

True.

But when the season is done

When the alternate

Prayers for the sun

And for rain

Are counted

When the pain

Of weeding

And the pride

Of watching are through

Then I will hold you

High

A shining sheaf

Above the thousand

Seeds grown wild.

Not of my planting

But by heaven

My harvest

My own Child.
