    My Adopted Child

     Fifteen years ago I adopted a child
    I didn't have any regrets when I looked
    into her eyes.
    I fell in love with her when I saw her face
    I couldn't let her grow up in different places.
    I knew that my values had no changed
    But I knew that I couldn't raise this child
    the same.
    My family members said your child is grown
    Let someone else give this child a home.
    You don't know what kind of person she is
    going to be
    She probably will resent you, then you will see.
    I didn't know what the future held for me
    But I knew that God could always see.
    My husband was called to his heavenly home
    God sent me this child so I would never be alone.
    Her parents asked me to give her this letter
    Inside it read, "We want your life to be better    ".
    We're very sorry that we had to give you away
    We couldn't provide the necessities or a place for
    you to stay.
    We want you to grow up in a two parent home
    Know that we love you, you will never be alone.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
