18 Years
This is the last letter
You turn
18
today
I don’t even know
if you know
you were adopted
I don’t blame your parents
if they didn’t tell you
If I were in their shoes
I think I would be scared
not knowing
how you would react
I probably wouldn’t
tell you either
If you have had a great life
full of love
full of caring
full of joy
full of life
then
why ruin it?
And believe this
I pray
from the bottom of my
heart and soul
that
you have indeed had
a wonderful life
This will be my last letter
You may never see these
and even if you do
you may never read them
but
I am enclosing
my address
on this one
just in case
I know I have
no rights
to ask you anything
and
I won’t
ever pursue this
if you don’t respond
I made a choice
18 years ago
not because
I didn’t want you
but
because
I loved you more
than anything in this world
more
than life itself
What I did
I did for you
I have never stopped
loving you
I never will
Be happy my darling
in whatever you do
I will love you
until
the day I die
