This work started out to be a challenge from Hawk Squaw, who is well known within our Halls. We gave each other a title, and the challenge was to write a poem and post it to our site. What it has became, is a true look within myself. I have always wondered about my real family. Are there siblings? Why was I given up? My adopted mom would be crushed if approached her with these questions. Someday I will search, but not while she is living. I am loved as if I was a born to my parents. In fact, my mom, has always told me... "If the Lord told me that I could only save you or Gary (my brother through adoption) from a burning building I would have to burn with you, because I could not choose." I love my family with all of my heart and I feel disloyal feeling the way I do.. but ~ the questions have always been there. Who am I really? What is my true "Family Tree"? ~Lesa~
