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
