My Gift

Things in my life haven’t always been easy They haven’t always been happy They haven’t always been good We have been lost We have been devastated We have been to our breaking points We have been broken Sometimes I feel like my worlds gone dark And there just nothing I can do But when that happens I realize this gift This gift I have been blessed with This amazing angel That god himself Created just to take care of me This angel has taught me how to love How to care How to understand How to be a friend How to be a true friend How to believe How to dream How to get through the tough times Because she does it Most of all She taught me how to get up To stand up To never give up She taught me That yeah life gets hard But I have to be stronger than that She taught how to be an amazing person Because she is the best person I ever met Now our lives haven’t always been easy Or happy, sometimes not even good We have been lost, devastated and at our breaking points And yes we have been broken But when it gets dark And I think I wont be able to get up There’s my mother Holding my hand And showing me the way I only wish to be her Only dream to be her But at least I have her as my angel Yes my angel That’s all I ever would ask for Thank you God For creating her Just For Me…. *For the "My Hero" Contest by Crystal Wilkins*

Another really good piece of writing. And very strong and truthful tribute to your mother. Best wishes in the contest. I really like how you write, as though you are talking to me in person. Very good. Take care. Deb
