MY Micheal
Birthmother
A Mother's Poem
ANGEL
Once there were two women
Who never knew each other
One you do not remember
The other you call mother.
Two different lives
Shaped to make yours one
One became your guiding star
The other your sun.
The first gave you life
The second taught you to live it
The first gave you a need to love
And the second was there to give it
One gave you nationality
And the second gave you a name
One gave you you the seed of talent
The other gave you aim.
One gave you emotions
The other calmed your fears
One saw your first sweet smile
The other dried your tears.
One gave you up
It was all that she could do
The other prayed for a child
And God led her straight to you.
And now you ask me through your tears
The age old question through the years
Heredity or environment
Which are you a product of?
Neither, my darling, neither
Just two different kinds of love.

SPEND ALL YOUR TIME WAITING
FOR THAT SECOND CHANCE
FOR A BREAK THAT WOULD MAKE IT OKAY
THERE'S ALWAYS ONE REASON
TO FEEL NOT GOOD ENOUGH
AND IT'S HARD AT THE END OF THE DAY
I NEED SOME DISTRACTION
OH BEAUTIFUL RELEASE
MEMORY SEEPS FROM MY VEINS
LET ME BE EMPTY
AND WEIGHTLESS AND MAYBE
I'LL FIND SOME PEACE TONIGHT
IN THE ARMS OF THE ANGEL
FAR AWAY FROM HERE
FROM THIS DARK COLD HOTEL ROOM
AND THE ENDLESS THAT YOU FEEL
YOU ARE PULLED FROM THE WRECKAGE
OF YOUR SILENT REVERIE
YOU'RE IN THE ARMS OF THE ANGEL
MAY YOU FIND SOME COMFORT THERE
SO TIRED OF THE STRAIGHT LINE
AND EVERYWHERE YOU TURN
THERE'S VULTURES AND THIEVES AT YOUR BACK
AND THE STORMS KEEP ON TWISTING
YOU KEEP ON BUILDING THE LIE
THAT YOU MAKE UP FOR ALL THAT YOU LACK
IT DON'T MAKE NO DIFFERENCE
ESCAPING ONE LAST TIME
IT'S EASY TO BELIEVE IN THIS MADNESS OH
THIS GLORIOUS SADNESS
THAT BRINGS ME TO MY KNEE
SEND ALL YOU TIME WAITING
FOR THAT SECOND CHANCE
FOR A BREAK THAT WOULD MAKE IT OKAY
THERE'S ALWAYS ONE REASON
TO FEEL NOT GOOD ENOUGH
AND IT'S HARD AT THE END OF THE DAY
I NEED SOME DISTRACTION
OH BEAUTIFUL RELEASE
MEMORY SEEPS FROM MY VEINS
LET ME BE EMPTY
AND WEIGHTLESS AND MAYBE
I'LL FIND SOME PEACE TONIGHT
IN THE ARMS OF THE ANGEL
FAR AWAY FROM HERE
FROM THIS DARK COLD HOTEL ROOM
AND THE ENDLESS THAT YOU FEEL
YOU ARE PULLED FROM THE WRECKAGE
OF YOUR SILENT REVERIE
YOU'RE IN THE ARMS OF THE ANGEL
MAY YOU FIND SOME COMFORT THERE
SO TIRED OF THE STRAIGHT LINE
AND EVERYWHERE YOU TURN
THERE'S VULTURES AND THIEVES AT YOUR BACK

IT DON'T MAKE NO DIFFERENCE
ESCAPING ONE LAST TIME
IT'S EASY TO BELIEVE IN THIS MADNESS OH
THIS GLORIOUS SADNESS
THAT BRINGS ME TO MY KNEES

There is alot behind Micheal's adoption and because I have found him I prefer not to write it down until such time as I can speak with him. All that needs to be said is that since his birth and the spring of 1982 there has been alot of pain and I need to just tell him "Son if you read this please call me! I know you are confused and have alot of pain going on inside of you. Please know I have never given up hope and have lived with alot of pain also. I do love you with all my heart and wait for a call from you. I was told you don't have long distance but if you got the letter I sent through email please call me at the number I wrote on it. If you did not get the letter or you were upset and lost it please email me and let me know where I can call you. I will climb the highest mountain to see you and here your voice. Please call me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UPDATED ON 4-12-2000
On 4-12-2000 I finally met my son. He knows the whole truth as to his adoption and how my best friend got him. There are no more secrets or lies. I need to just say that some other innocent people are out there and they only know the lies they were told and I now think to heal from this they must be told the truth. Now on to my reunion story.
There will be a name mentioned that won't be known to my Michigan List Sibs
because this kind man is from my NY Adoption list.
We arrived back at about an hour ago. Jeff stayed down there in Jackson but
will be up on Friday. We had a wonderful list sib meet us at the train
station and his name is Dave Orsino. He brought me a beautiful bouquet of
flowers (who told him I love carnations) it also had a lovely card with it
that said "Congratulations on your new arrival" and he wrote Elizabeth well
he is!! enjoy! hugs Dave O. then we found out Mikey's train was going to be 45 minutes late, then the butterflies were really flying Man now after barely making it this long i had another 45 more minutes. Well, we went for coffee and pop (soda's) at
the coney island in jackson. We sat and talked for a little bit and it made
the time fly by quicker except i kept looking out the window hoping the
train would come. Then Jim my other half said well lets get over there so
we all went over to the station. we stood outside and they said the train
would be ariving in 8 minute's man I almost wanted to cry then. Dave and I
were talking as Jim and Jeff and TeAnna stood by the tracks watching. Dave
gave me another hug and here came the train with the announcement from
TeAnna and Jeff. As the train pulled up i was looking in the windows and Jim
says Liz he has a black coat with red on it. Off comes a little ole lady,
and someone else and then Mikey. I headed his way with tears in my eyes and
we hugged (Now I have my christmas wish better late then never). I finally
let go and took him and introduced him to TeAnna (they hugged) Jeff (they
hugged) I started to cry, and Jim he shook his hand. then I looked at MY
Mikey and told him I wanted to introduce him to one of my Adoption List Sibs
and as we headed towards Dave I seen it (Dave don't deny it) he was crying
too. I smiled. I introduced him to Mikey and then we said our goodbyes to
Dave and went back to the Coney as I had hungry mouths after that hehe.
This is where the ice broke (Dave you should have been there) the waitress
asked us what we wanted to drink and she looked at Mikey and said Would you
like a pop? and he said No, I don't want to be hit! I busted up laughing
Then he said but I would like a soda please. well we finished dinner and
took back to his grandma's (his b-dad's MOM) and I introduced them and she
and his Baunt said awwww man she has really missed you. See Jeff's
grandparents funded my trip to NY when Mikey was 4 months old (not 3 months)
and Jeff's Grandma was the one who set up the nursery while I was gone (she
bought everything for him and then some) I think Jeff stayed down there for
a couple of days because he wanted to give me time alone with Mikey then
come up. On the way home Mikey and TeAnna were picking on each other and
laughing and stuff and Mikey took a picture of Theresa out and showed it to
TeAnna and said this is the lady who took me away. TeAnna said well it's the
same lady who made mom cry and told me lies. Mikey said "MOM, I wish I would
have been able to know what life would have been like with my real family
and a cute sis like this BRAT and real brother's! That ripped my heart right
then cuz that was also stolen from me..........So now we are home we went by
the hospital on the way home and i showed him where he was born and the two
kids fell asleep the last stretch with mikey and teanna almost head to head
and smiling. Everyone is sleeping now and I am sitting here still wondering
what it would have been like to have had mikey home all these years. I told
Mikey before he went to bed that we would sit down tomorrow and I will show
him all the proof and then from there we will figure out where to go.
He said he would not hate me which ever way I chose.
Well good night er good morning everyone Have a Blessed day. Cuz I know I am
tired and blessed.
Elizabeth B. Mikey's Mom
She may have stoled my child but she didn't steal the love I have for him.
