Strangers..No



My beginning was two seeds planted in love,
Nourished and kept safe by Angels above,
Many months went by as I grew,
Having no where to go and nothing to do.

Suddenly with no time to waste,
I was making my escape from this place,
It seems like forever but with a helping hand,
I made my debut just as I am.

Nothing to wear, nothing to say,
Wrapped in pink this was my birthday,
Loving faces looked down at me,
Strangers…No,
It’s my Mommy and Daddy!
