My Gift

We go through life trying to find that one person that can make us shake.
Unfortunately to find that we must make a few mistakes.
God knows I’ve made mine but I don’t regret the past.
 I took away with me two little girls; the love between us will forever last.
We all struggle inside
With those demons we hide.
But we rise above for the sheer fact that we all must open up to love.
There are so many amazing gifts in life.
But most of us look past them and wonder why 
We all pay a ruthless price.
All we have is the breath in our body, the sunset and rise again.
We have body, mind, and soul within.
So if that’s all we truly have than why do most people think it is everything else 
that matters?
Those people are worse off than I; eventually their lives will shatter.
I acknowledge all that I have, and embrace it to the fullest extent.
I will pass true heart and soul to my little girls, and one day like me they will feel 
heaven sent.
