A crucial decision made before I was born,
that created avoid where my family was torn.
My mom made a decision that broke her heart,
to give her first daughter a better start.
For years she dealt with sorrow and regret,
swearing that her baby she would never forget.
A perplex decision that could have been fate,
will she ever find her we anxiously wait.
Is she safe and happy or sad and alone?
Is she looking for us now that she's grown.
Maybe it's better to never know,
but we want to tell her we love her so.
Like a ghost in our home that we miss,
our prays and thoughts are with my sis.

Author notes
option one. I feel bad for my mom to have to give up her first daughter because her father made her back 45 years ago they could put you in a home and force you to if you were a teen. Not that teens should all have kids that young but family support for teen when they make mistakes is not only important but it is in fact was love is really about. I have to say my sister was being raised by another family but she was always with us in our hearts we always talked about her missed her and hoped for the best.

Thank you for entering my contest
The first thing I would like to point out, is that this is amazing. The flow and rhyme are perfect. I am impressed be far. This makes your heart break for the mother and you reach out to her. That is what makes a good poem. Emotion. Good luck
P.S.- I really love this entry and would love to be able to judge it. Therefore (though it is obvious) you must explain your poem in the authors notes. It is written in the rules and wouldnt be fair to expect this poem when others did it
