My Child

Flesh and blood you may not be 
But my child you have been, a blessing as one of my own
You came into my life when you were grown
But in the time I have known
You have blessed me beyond your understanding
Though you hide behind a leather veil
Nothing will prevail what truly is a blessing in disguise
When I look into your eyes you cannot hide 
The true beauty within
Bless you my child
Your story is about to begin
