I Lost My Way

True intentions 
         Fill my soul

So much ambition
         So many goals

Searching for answers
         Longing to find

My purpose in life
         Future in mind

Marriage and children 
         At a young age

Beautiful daughters
         Take center stage

Schoolwork and activities 
         Now my success

Friends and sleepovers
         Bedroom's a mess

Youthfulness leaving
         Becoming mature

Lessons I’ve taught them
         Morals secure

A mother I’ve been
         I lost my way

Towards my goals
         I was led astray

But am I disappointed
         Of choices I made

The path I chose in life
         I’d never trade
