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

To my new mum, I give my whole heart
Which overflows with gratitude
But I long to find that missing part
The one who bore me from the start.
