My Mother, My Hero

Even though we were thousands of miles apart
There was always a special place for you in my heart

You were my savior and my mom before I knew your name
Once we were united our lives would never be the same

I was your son and your child before I saw your face
You were my hero, my mother, and my saving grace

I believe it was fate that brought us together that day
It just proves to me that God works in mysterious ways

Now that the years have gone by and I am a man
I now am fully capable to appreciate and understand

It is truly a gift when you adopt a child and share your love
It is more than just a choice but a blessing from above

And now that I am a parent myself, I have been able to see
How to give back the amazing gift that you have given to me

Adoption is a choice made with your heart and soul
It is a choice that makes your life fully complete and whole

Thank you for being the loving and caring mother you are
You are truly and inspiration sent to me from afar
