Two Mothers

In honor of Birthmother's Day, I wanted to share this little poem with you.  I wrote it on February 4, 2011 for Eden (with inspiration from a different poem that I read).  Happy Birthmother's Day!

There were once two women on different sides of the earth;
God’s plan brought them together through your birth.

One carried and delivered you—what God intended her to do;
The other prayed for a child, and God led her straight to you.

One made a painful choice to give you a better life;
The other is so grateful to her for that sacrifice.

Obedience and love—how both decisions were made;
You were CHOSEN, my child—and this love will never fade!

Your life is woven together by two different kinds of love;
This type of double-blessing was planned by God above.

You have the special love of a mother—multiplied by two!
One is in your heart forever; the other is “Mommy” to you.
