My Greatest Gift
You may never realize it,
and certainly time didn't tell,
but living all this time without you
has been my own personal hell
the day you were born,
is one i will never forget,
though i didnt deserve you,
you were my greatest gift
a product of a terrible mother,
and what did i do?
you had no fault but
i did the same to you
all the birthdays
that came and went
you were grown before i knew it
time that wont come back again
i should have known better
i had been in your shoes
of all the hatred i once felt
and then giving it to you
i hope one day as youre older,
and you become more wise,
that you will be able to forgive me
as with my mom i have tried
dont get me wrong
im not here to justify
but at least say that i am sorry
when my mom couldnt apologize
i love you with all my heart
no matter how it may seem
if i could redo anything in this life
it would be your mother once again
