Analysis of Adopted daughter
Alyson Ballard 1985
How could someone be so pure
So untainted and so ignored
How can her mother look in her eyes
But never truly see what she has disguised
So much confusion and feels so lonely
Will she ever look past her own problems to see her daughter only
It baffles me constantly to see someone so blind
To constantly leave her child behind
The love she consistently seems
Is right here within reach
She may not see her but I will anyways
And she is welcome and loved her always
