When I Was But An Infant; My Parents Were Killed By A Car! As A Little Baby I Had No Will Of My Own; So Thus I Was Adopted By The Parents I'd Come To Love! It Made Them Very Happy; For Now They Had A Precious Son! All Was Not So Cheerful; In This House So Filled With Love! For The Eldest Of My Half Sister Before This Marriage Had An Agenda Of Her Own; She Would Fill My Life With Tortures From The Time I Was Only One! She Never Failed To Remind Me; That I Was Adopted As Their Son! She Lied, and Said They Did Not Want Me; Because I Was Not Of Their Own Blood! When I Was Old Enough To Understand; I Broke Into Deepest Tears! My Mother Dried Them Carefully; Then Tried So Hard To Cheer! When She Learned What Finally Had Happened; She Set Me On Her Knee! That Is When She Told Me; Just What I Meant To Them! Mother Told Me This As Careful As She Could; We Had To Have Our Daughters, But We Chose To Have You Too! After That Occasion; I Knew How Much They Cared! For They Would Not Have Chosen; If They Had Not Meant To Care! Then After That My Half Sister; Was Sent Away From There! She Was Old Enough To Torture; So She Was Old Enough To Live On Her Own At Eighteen!
