Loving you is more than enough

A poem about finding my birth mother

Sometime ago our paths were unjoined and you gave me away hoping my life would not be tough

When I couldn’t be with you it was very devastating and sometimes I felt  corrupt

 

I knew that I loved you and that was good enough

Trying to figure out what went wrong, but you can’t get caught up in that stuff

 

During the holidays is when it got really tough

But knowing that I loved you was good enough

 

Fantasizing about our reunion while sipping coffee from my cup

Knowing that I loved you made me feel that love was enough

 

Will she be proud of me? I did my best though it was rough

Knowing that I love you sometimes made it tough

 

I used my hardships, disappointments, and feelings of being unwanted as a motivation to succeed and not become settled like dust

But knowing that I will someday find you was simply enough

 

My life never felt complete and I wondered if you missed me as I reach for a puff

But knowing that I loved you helped me and that was enough

 

Falling into solipsism thinking only I exist with this issue creates emotional handcuffs

Knowing that I love you helped me manage through some of this stuff

 

Though life has its advantages and disappointments God said enough

I will arrange these two to meet again and help one another disarm their cuffs

 

Many have said I would never find you and I am wasting my time with this stuff

My search took ten years and a toll on my soul, but when I found you I called their bluff

 

Sometime ago in 2002 our path was joined back together as we learn something new from all this stuff

That only God controls our destiny and he loves us so, and my love for you both will always be enough
