Answer What You Ask

I found the papers for which I’d searched

hidden in a back drawer.

It was the best inheritance

that I could have asked for.

The names didn't match and the date

was off by several months

from what I've been told. Realization struck,

I'd been told a lie, my birth facts they'd wish to hide.

It suddenly occurred to me, some

never found a loving home,

and then realized the magnitude

of having my own.
