An Adoption Poem
Not My Own

From Cindy (Last Name Withheld), for About.com

Not my own.
Against my soul and body,
logic tells me it is so.

Mindless Passion caused Life to grow,
answered a Hope I did not know.

Of nature we are the same,
becoming more is your fate.

Decided for you is a different way,
for always as my Love will be.

With regret my Word remains,
you do not belong to me.
