Vacker dikt
FFIA:s medlemstidning kom i brevlådan igår och läste bl a om Caroline Nilsson, adopterad från Indien, som åkt tillbaka och volontärarbetade på det barnhem i Pune som hon själv adopterades ifrån. Artikeln avslutades med en vacker dikt som jag måste föreviga här:
Once there were two women who never knew each other.
One You do not remember, the other You call mother.
Two different lifes shaped to make Yours one.
One became Your guiding star, the other became Your sun.
The first gave You life, the second taught you to live it.
The first gave You need for love, the second was there to give it.
One gave You nationality, the other gave You a name.
One gave You seed of talent, the other calmed Your feers.
One saw Your first sweet smile, the other dried Yours tears.
One gave You up - it was all she could do.
The other prayed for a child and God led her straight to You.
And more You ask me through Your tears.
The age old question throughout the years.
Heredity or Environment, which are You the product of?
Neither my darling, neither, just two different kinds of love.
