| About My Life There was a day when I was free When I was happy as can be I was at home with mom and dad Though I complained, it wasn't bad. I had the things a girl could need I had it all, I did indeed. I couldn't see the road ahead How hard it is to earn your bread I thought that life was fun and wild 'Till I woke up one day; with child. I didn't know how hard it would be Though a child myself, I started to see I swore I'd be smart, and not have another But one year later, my son had a brother. I worked so hard, all by myself I put my dreams up on a shelf I did my best to be both things; Thier mom and dad; what tire that brings. Time moved on, I had a girl She was the center of my world. Still all alone; how could that be? I had my little famliy. But still I felt alone and dim I needed a partner, then I met him. The man who took my fears away, The man who turned my night to day. He brought me joy and peace and laughter I prayed for "happily ever after". With golden hair and sparkling eyes, His soul mine instantly recognized. I knew that he was the one for life, This beautiful man made me his wife. A heart has never felt such joy As the day we gave life to our baby boy. Although it's not the way that I'd planned, My life turned out much better than grand. And who do I have to thank? You know, The one who makes the flowers grow; And angels leap, and sparrows sing; My Lord, my Master; Jesus, my King. |
| Poetry I've Written |
| I learned how to love by watching you I was the teacher, but you taught me, too. I never knew the depth of my heart Until you were born and filled every part. There were those times I�d cry until dawn But then here you�d come with my strength to go on. You�d show me that smile, so precious and true And there was no way I could ever resist you. You�d show me those eyes, so trusting and wide My eyes would fill with tears of pride. The lessons we�ve learned, the memories made Are things that we treasure, they won�t ever fade. Now that you�re grown, you haven�t a clue; I was your teacher, but you taught me, too. |
