REUNION


My heart pounds
as I walk towards your front door.
I can't believe...
I am really about to meet you ...
The stranger who is my mother.

The door opens and your smile
tells me what I want to know.
Your lingering hug echoes it.
I was loved and wanted!
Not thrown away
like some rejected mistake.

Around each other
we search for similarities...
in our faces
in our bodies
in our actions
and in our minds.
We thrill at any little likeness
even if not an enviable trait.

Biologically related
we find we share a kindred spirit
Warm-hearted and loving
people without airs
Who love to share their happiness
with all who come near.


~~ IRM 10/21/98
