For You, Stepmother

You Entered My Life 
So Many Years Ago.

Another Woman Was Found
In My Father’s Heart.

Many Struggles Were Ahead
So Scared Was I, Uncertain Were you.

The Greatest Friend 
I Never Knew I Needed.

The Strength You Possess,
That You Willingly Shared.

Another Hole I Was Unaware
Is No Longer There!
