A Letter To My Children

Every day life is like a gift
I do believe that an angel is watching over me
Every trial, every obstacle only makes me believe 
that god has something great in store for me.

Life can be difficult at times and sometimes
I may need awhile to stop, to reflect, to cry, to listen
But even though I feel as though the world is on my shoulder
I know, I am not alone.

Because its moment like these that makes me believe.
That life is worth living
Your smile, your laughter
Your tears, your total dependants on me
Makes me realize how important and special I am.

Truly beautiful, I couldn't agree more, I am so thankful and grateful to be a mother..My daughter is my pride and joy..There's nothing I wouldn't do for her and I would give anything to protect her and keep her happy,loved and safe..I let her know always, I am there for her and she can count on me...She is 8 years old...This was written beautifully, I wrote a poem titled " To Be A Mother Is A Gift, you should check it out and again, nice work..God Bless you , Always Tyesha
