Adoption Poems
I wondered why you gave me up
by Sharon Morgan
I’ve often wondered who I am
I pondered who gave birth to me
I wondered why you gave me up
I asked if this was meant to be
I wondered why I never knew
That my new mother had replaced you
She gave me love and tender care
Made sacrifices for me each day, each year

After The Fog
by Simon Benn
Numb, cocooned ignorant in the fog.
Unable to see what's close by.
What's right in front of my nose.
Staring me right in the face.
The fog lifts in a life-changing instant.
Furious storm clouds revealed.
Angry, scared tears deluge.
Threaten the ground beneath.

Beneath
by Simon Benn
Your fist fast in fury.
White knuckled in fear.
Tight and terrified in trauma.
Locked and alone.
Fingers loosen to offer a glimmer.
Dancing light shards.
Fingers unfurl sparkles grow.
Light rushes in and bounces back.
