I had a lot of friends,
I had people who cared,
But I wished I had,
Someone to call my own.
*
I needed a mother,
To kiss me goodnight,
A loving father,
To hug me tight.
*
A family of my own,
Where I could be happy,
With a place to live,
A place called home.
*
I saw a lot of my friends,
Being picked by couples everyday,
I anxiously waited,
For my turn someday.
*
And then one day,
On a bright spring morning,
I was called to the office,
And introduced to a lady.
*
Didn’t I need both?
A mother and a father?
I wondered why she came alone,
And seemed confused.
*
She signed a few forms,
Talked to the manager,
And all formalities complete,
She took me home.
*
She had name and fame,
But she was bereft of a family,
So she chose to adopt me,
To shower love for the rest of her life.
*
A mother and a father,
She proves to be,
God had sent her to me,
Whom I can proudly call mine.
