Laila Day

"Once there were two women who didn't know each other.
One you now call birth mom, the other you call mother.
Two different lives came together to make yours one.
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 heart for love, the second showed you how 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 gave you your smile, the other dried your tears.
One of them placed you up--it's what was best to do.
The other prayed for a child of God led her straight to you.
Heredity or environment - which are you a product of?
Neither, my darling, neither. Just two perfect kinds of love."
