A secret was revealed that was kept close to the heart
About a branch of a tree no one wanted to part
It was a revelation of truth and realization of another
A sign of the times and worries of a teenage mother
A truth that eventually led me to you
A poignant after thought, but a chance so new
To learn of a father that I never knew
To learn of his mother, my grandmother too
To traverse life's course that led to you
To reach out and touch and know that it's true
To kiss your face with a smile so sincere
To learn I too had a Mother Dear
It was a dream realized and a life made whole
It was the end of a search and a liberation of my soul
A time was shared, no matter how short
Full of joy, love, remembrance and most of all, lost
A moment shared without regret, just some tears
A treasured memory of my Mother Dear
