My Children Will Never Know the Pain I Did As They Grow

Here's a tale about me Born into a family Wishing that I did not know Love for me they didn't show Drugs and alcohol were part Of days that just broke my heart Many times I wasn't noticed So I had to really focus On growing myself up right So I could finally take flight Away from this tragedy That was not a family But a childhood of woes That became worse as weeks grow Into months of molestation Hoping for a cancellation From this life I had no choice To live without a strong voice Meek and silent more each time With no chance of a good sign I would finally be set free From all this humility Allowing me a life of hope In a world where I can cope On my won without the terror That I lived with and forever Will keep that pain in my mind As a lesson to be kind And treat others with respect Living quite the opposite From my past knowing that I Will never make someone cry My children will never see Sorrow or such misery They'll be heard and loved without A single moment of doubt That I will allow my past To be a shadowy cast That darkens their world and future They will only know the nurture Of a loving mothers care A promise that wont disappear
