Momma was scared to keep me
Daddy had no clue.
She left me with the nurses,
No dress, no shirt, no shoe.

Everyone just wandered,
Everyone questioned why,
This tiny, new born baby,
Had practically fallen from the sky.

Momma thought it was for the better,
She thought that she had ended a lie.
This tiny, newborn baby,
Could omit the question “Why?”

The baby was given to a loving family,
Who by themselves could bear no womb.
I was given up for the better,
Yet my heart bares a hole unfilled that I shall take to my tomb.

Momma and I have more in common than she believes,
I know we both question why.
We wonder how the other’s doing,
We wonder if we’ll meet in heaven,
That paradise in the sky.

Momma, I know you loved me.
I know you still care.
This took an emotional toll on you,
One you cannot bear.

Sixteen years have passed now,
And all my feelings remain the same.
I want you to know that I accept your decision.
I hope I’ve left you no shame.

Without you I feel kind of empty,
A hole goes through and through.
I fear that it’s the absence,
Of my mother,
You.
