Poems for Adoption, Search and Reunion Page Four

For Danny

February Fourth

Another year has gone -
More laws are getting passed -
It almost seems as though
God is doing what I asked -

You see, all those years ago -
When the social worker tried
her best to show me
that choosing meant forever -
And I signed my name -
I pretended
to believe her -
But I promised just the same
that someday I would find you
If God willed it was to be -

And I hope someday to tell you
(And I hope you'll understand)
That all this time we've been apart,
In my prayers I've held your hand -

Some other things I'd like to say -
Although I gave you up
I never could give you away -

And -
(Oh, where are you today) -

Have a happy birthday.

-1987
