Had taken so long to pluck up courage
at the airport time to ponder the past
born forty-two years on this very day
now alone waiting to board a plane
did not tell the parents or try to explain
her hidden feelings of hurt and pain!
Knew she was abandoned from birth
brought up in an orphanage until ten
then foster homes where she suffered
abused pleas for help were ignored
attempted suicide a cry for support
in a vicious cycle had been caught!
Eventually she found loving parents
when seventeen and was adopted
guiding a young woman to sanity
married but divorced had one child
now grown up and turned out fine
who had brought back the sunshine!
This journey had to be done all alone
to meet the woman who gave her life
yet forsaken the child soon after birth
what truths would be unearthed!
The countdown to her heritage had begun!
