Signing The Adoption Papers Poem by Lillian Susan Thomas

Signing The Adoption Papers

Rating: 3.9


From the warm, liquid darkness of my womb
To the glare, blare and cold of an all white ward,
He arrives: my helpless, raging child.
For nine months I nurtured him
On my heart's richness
And visions of how he would grow fat
On my milk and wonder.

Now I must surrender these hopes
That we dreamt together;
While another mother dreams.
