Forbidden Seed

Fostering a child is a remarkable thing to do

Forbidden seed

I am the fruit of a forbidden seed,

A shadow born from a silenced need.

I should never have come to be,

A truth whispered in secrecy.

Father turned from what he’d sown,

A stranger’s face in a house unknown.

Mother, too, let go her hold,

Left me adrift in a world so cold.

But from the cracks, the roots still grew,

A strength within that no one knew.

I am the fruit of resilience untamed,

A soul unbroken, a heart unclaimed.

Though cast aside, I rise, I stand,

A child of fate, not of their plan.

For in the dark, I found my flame,

And built a life without their name.

I gained my strength from parents new,

Who knew exactly what to do.

They loved me more than life itself,

Bringing this forbidden seed

to normal life and good health.

God bless the foster parents who turned on my light,

And nurtured me both day and night.

In all but blood, I am truly theirs;

They are my mum and dad, it's them who cares

This Poem came to me after meditation with my moldivite crystal. The contents of what is in this poem is not about me or my Life. Thank god I had the best Mam Ns Dad ever ❤️♦️❤️♦️
