My Eyes Opened To Reality
My eyes have been opened to the things that
I did not know I was doing to you to them
Because of my selfish ways I have realized that
There is more to be grateful for and not
Only but so much for being thankful for at the same time
Leaving you to the duty that should
Have been solely mine to do and let you relax now
You have done your main duty in raising me
And now you can have the enjoyment of babysitting them
It is my turn to take on the responsibility that
Was my choice to create in the first place
Don’t worry I am not blaming you or anyone else
My eyes were closed to the fact or should I say
To the truth of life that everyone loses someone they
Love then it becomes a little harder to go through life
But everyone seems to be taking it well except when they
Are alone with the rest of their family at first
I believe family is what keeps a person motivated
Underneath everything else in their way of thinking
The unconditional love that is there from your mothers
From your father from your own kids nothing
Will get in the middle of it if you do not let it…
…the one who wrote this is not who you think she is…
…she has committed crimes and yes it is her own fault…
…and now wants to take responsibility for her word and now actions…
No matter what life throws at people their family
Is all they have and even sometimes some don’t even
Have a family to call on for help in their time of need
The one of many things I am grateful for is
That I have a family so loving and especially wonderful
Mother who would do again what should have been mine
I am truly sorry for all the hardship I have currently
Caused you caused my kids I really do not know
What I would have done it I did not have a mother
Or even a family like you to be my support when in need
I cannot promise I won’t get into trouble again but
I know all I can do is go on with my life and with
Our family’s lives when I am released from my
Current isolation from you guys I promise I will
try to do my best for now on but nothing is for certain
Until the event actually happens…
……in this time……
……in this world……
……and most of all in this life....
