Unwanted
By Jeanne Marie Soniat

Unknown by father
Unwanted by mother
Alone
but not alone - there are millions of us

Starving for love,
acceptance,
a place to belong.

Will I ever be wanted,
chosen, claimed?
I have dreamed, imagined, hoped
And nothing has changed.

Two thousand miles away
They look at my picture
His heart pounds,
Her heart skips a beat
and each falls into perfect beat with mine.

I have been Chosen

Embraced-
not just in their arms
in their hearts.
I belong.

Known by father
Wanted by mother
Secure
But there are still millions
