The Trudie Story... a true miracle incl. photo
All I ever wanted was a baby to call my own,
For as long as I can remember of that I've always known,
Then one day I heard the nurse say,
"She's a beautiful baby girl" .......and then........,
.......she whisked you quickly away.
"Please let me see her!" I begged in vain,
"Just one look then I'll never ask again",
But no.......I was not meant to see,
"We have our rules....of this we're sure, it cannot be!"
Even though I didn't gaze upon your baby face,
There is somewhere inside me.....my secret place,
Where your soul merged with my inner being,
The memory of you .....my baby .....my dream.
Many years passed and a part of me went with you,
A deep longing for my baby.....my heart ripped in two,
A lot of tears and sleepless nights.........,
Lost in the morning.......eyes too bright.
A phone ringing............................answering in haste.
A girl called Trudie was searching for her mother,
My tears of joy I tried to smother.........,
"Do you want to meet her?" asked the voice,
"It's completely up to you, you have a choice".
"I've waited 18 years to meet her!" I cried,
"When they took her away I thought I'd died",
"How soon can I meet her?" I sobbed and laughed,
"Well.........as soon as we can arrange it on her behalf".
A dream has come true....a fairy tale end,
I found my daughter and gained a best friend,
I cannot find the words to say how,
Or understand why but I do know now.........,
That fate dealt a hand .............it was meant to be,
And when you were ready you came back to me.
~*~ I love you Trudie-Anne ~*~

| Janine, I can so feel the power of the moment in this poem, how much joy you felt is clear as the ringing of the bells in a churchyard on Sabbath. It makes me glad for you both. | |||

| Janine - this is your heart talking....your soul....the innermost feelings that share with us your confusion as a young girl, your heartache at giving her up, and your joy at reuniting with your daughter....this is what poetry is about - expression and inspiration of the soul. You have touched my heart with this one....and I cry tears of joy for you.... | |||

| Janine, I am so moved, that I can almost not speak. A very unusual predicament for this blabber mouth (lol) but, your poem is so personal, and so touching. I don't know how to express to you just how much so. Bless you for the trials that you have faced in life, and bless your daughter, Trudie , as well. May you both find what has been void for eighteen years...looks like you have :) This one made me cry. Rachelle | |||

| I don't know what to say. A wonderful poem, so touching. Sometimes dreams are more real than real life, and if you keep believing in your dreams, they do become real, at least some of them do. I am so happy for you. Bless you and Trudie. Funda | |||
