Once there were two women who
never knew each other,
One - you do not remember, the other
you call mother.
Two different lives shaped to make
yours,
One became your guiding star, the
other became your sun.
The first gave you life, and the
second taught you to live in it.
The first gave you a need for love and
the second was there to give it.
One gave you a nationality; the other
gave you a name.
One gave you the seed of talent; the
other gave you an aim.
One gave you emotions; the other
calmed your fears.
One saw your first sweet smile; the
other dried your tears.
One gave you up - that's all she could
do.
The other prayed for a child and God
led her straight to you.
Now you ask through all your tears the
age-old question through the years;
Heredity or environment - which are
you a product of?
Neither, my darling - neither - just
two different kinds of love.
