As a tiny preemie,
I was very sick;
Hospital existence,
A devastating trick.

Adopted shortly after,
I wondered about them;
They answered in abundance
When I took sick again.

My parents wrote a letter
To my first mom and dad,
Determining the reason
My health became so bad.

A glacial cold responded..;
Briefly hurt and sad,
Now I’m forever grateful
For the folks I never had!
