Long-Lost Love

Apparently- adopted at birth, I was timely told this when I turned twelve. Though always adoring adoptive parents- so oft turned thoughts to my mom's long-lost love. My birth mother, most meaningfully would rebuild roots and resolve rumors which I diligently dismissed and dared dreamed false- tried telling thoughts- she is genuinely good. Youth yielded to adulthood; pursuance passed. Then, one distinct day a caller came crashing in my life; lost love loomed- luckily to be found! My birth mom, brilliantly beaming- found me! Lost love- now forever found! Puzzles perceived! We soon connected, comingled, caught up. The "why, when, where" my sacred start began; the sharing, saying- from which womb I came. So oft turned thoughts to my mom's long-lost love; My birth mom, brilliantly beaming- found me!
