I am theirs and they are mine

I Am Theirs, And They Are Mine
My heart ached and I felt less than good enough,
They assured me I would conquer the world.
I was angry and bitter,
They wiped away my tears.
I blamed them for my misfortune,
And they took it.
They carried my baggage for years,
And loved me right through it.
All of my accomplishments,
They were there.
They taught me strength.
When i look in their eyes,  
I see only love.
They picked me up when i felt defeated.
They loved me for me,
When I couldn’t love myself.
I didn’t grow under her heart, or in his,
But I was always there.
They waited for me,
They fought for me.
I am theirs, and they are mine.
They mended my broken wings,
And set me free for flight.
I know I’m adopted,
And for that  
I am full  
of delight.
