One gave me life
Another Raised me for 17 years
One gave me a name
Another gave me ingredients for preparation for the real world.
One gave me up
Another never gave up on me because she meant the world to me.
One gave me 3 sisters
Another gave me a set of substitute siblings.
One gave me a Phantom of a dad figure.
Another gave me a role model of iconic dad figure.
One gave me an empty brain.
Another was there to fill up my brain with lots of ingredients.
One never had shown me how to explore the outside world.
Another showed me how to explore the open world of many opportunities.
One was predestined to be my mom
Instead God gave me a package deal.
Another became my Momma Gump
Meaning The movie Forrest Gump has a lot of meaning in my life.
One showed me how to be mindful.
Another showed me how to grow.
This poem about my biological mother Evelyn Resto
And my Substitute mom Mederly Resto.
