I don't know who you are
And no, you don't know me
Yet we share something meaningful,
But it wasn't meant to be
I don't need to ask questions
Yet there's many on my mind
And I suppose I dont need answers
Because they seem so impossible to find
It's been said throughout life
that we all make mistakes
That we should look past each other's faults
and offer forgiveness even through heartbreak
Well I can say I forgive you
and that comes from my heart
But it was the decision you made
that forever set us apart

I guess I shouldn't blame you
I'm sure you did what's best
But I can't offer you sympathy
I have to get this off my chest
Every year, December 9th, I think of you all day
That's the day your decision was final
That's the day I was given away
I am thankful that you did so
Yet confused at the same time
You've burdened me with fear
of being lonely and left behind
I was blessed with new parents
Two who cared and wanted me
But I can't help but wonder
About my real family tree.
