A Great Mom

Wrapped in a blanket ,and left  by a lake,
Two fishermen found me for somebody's sake.
An empty milk bottle, five months old alone,
They brought me in so I could find a home.

I was five months old when they left me there,
A foster mom wanted to be in  charge of my care.
She took me from the hospital that very day,
She was the one who wanted me to stay.

(Chorus)
The one who chose me showed what love can do,
Not bound by blood, but a heart sincere and true.
Before she passed, I whispered in her ear,
"I’ll cherish our memories every day of the year."

Ten months later, they came for me,
My birth parents claimed their custody,
They brought me back with silent shame,
And left me at my foster door again.

They made me theirs and gave me a real home.
I had what mattered most as I had grown.
At sixteen I found out I was adopted,
It was fine by me — I just accepted it.

(Chorus)
The one who chose me showed what love can do,
Not bound by blood, but a heart sincere and true.
Before she passed, I whispered in her ear,
"I’ll cherish our memories every day of the year."

For forty years I searched to find a face,
To know the ones who left me in that place.
She asked me to forgive her happily I did.
I was grateful for the life that I got to live.

(Bridge)
I once was lost beneath uncertain skies,
Yet love kept reaching where abandonment lies.
From broken starts came something whole and true,
A love that found me and carried me through.

(Chorus)
The one who chose me showed what love can do,
Not bound by blood, but a heart sincere and true.
Before she passed, I whispered in her ear,
"I’ll cherish our memories every day of the year."
The one who chose me showed what love can do,
Not bound by blood, but a heart sincere and true.
Before she passed, I whispered in her ear,
"I’ll cherish our memories every day of the year."
"I’ll cherish our memories every day of the year."
