I wondered why you gave me up

I’ve often wondered who I am

I pondered who gave birth to me

I asked if this was supposed to be

I wondered why I never knew

That my new mother had replaced you

She gave me love and tender care

Made sacrifices for me each day, each year

To my new mum, I give my whole heart

Which overflows with gratitude

But I long to find that missing part

The one who bore me from the start.
