I wrote the following poem for Charlotte and Kevin, my new-found brother and sister, on February 21, 2013 -- just five short days after our very first email conversation. I share it with you after having asked their permission. They are so generous, accommodating, and wonderful, I knew they wouldn't say no :)
"Pieces of Me"
Always,
All my life ...
discontent.
Happy, yet searching,
Watching faces, anxiously
Waiting, expectantly
Always,
discontent.
Missing pieces of me.
A sister-shaped void,
A brother-shaped hole.
Missing pieces of me ...
incomplete.
How can this be?
Strangers days ago
But now ...
part of me.
We are each other,
Yet unique.
Incomprehensible
How you have captured my heart,
my thoughts, my being.
Overjoyed,
My heart is full,
bursting,
oozing love.
How will I explain?
Can you understand?
You are my precious treasures.
Found pieces of me.
Yvonne, Feb. 21, 2013
With much love, for Charlotte & Kevin, my
"found pieces"
