Love Poem: No One's Daughter

No One's Daughter

I have lived my life in pain,
My days filled with despair,
Always desperately praying
For the Mom that wasn't there.

So lonely, I always felt,
Never around were any others,
A bad hand I was dealt,
Not even a sister or a brother.

I wondered what I did wrong
For life to be so unfair,
The bond for which I longed
Was never, ever there.

I am no one's daughter,
Giving birth is not the same.
Motherhood was not her,
She only gave me a name.

So hard for me to understand,
Knowing always without a doubt,
Kids were something I planned,
That my life couln't go without.

It's the best feeling ever,
Being a parent makes it all complete.
The greatest love lasting forever
That nothing else could ever beat.

So, a DAUGHTER I am not,
But a MOTHER I'll always be.
Wishing that had been taught,
So she'd at least love me.
