Twenty Year Search
by
Norma Jean Duncan
She searched for her daughter for twenty long years
She searched and prayed, with eyes filled with tears.
She placed her for adoption when four days old,
You can't keep her, by her family she was told.
At fifteen what she did was best for all concerned.
But for twenty years she has grieved and yearned.
She had to finished school, and had no man for her dad.
When she graduated from college, her heart was sad.
Twenty years passed, and today she can see her face.
Her daughter was searching too, looking every place.
Fate has worked a miracle, hard to believe,
They are together at last, this time she won't leave.
Their hearts are bound together with love united,
Boy! they are all happy and very excited,
Now she has two parents, more family than she had,
You see, her mother's husband is also her real dad.
