My Past

My past is a man that saved my life
when i was a child would have diedwithout him
he made me strongand gave me kids
but we were not meant  to be
i always knew he was not mine
but i clutched to him like a daughter
to a father
and for twenty years of laughter and tears
the fights we used to have
but alot of happy too
my love for him was as a childs love
try as i did to love like a wife i could not
so my dear past i kissyou goodbye
for now its time for me to fly
to spread my wings and go into the future
with my beloved soulmate
i will always remember the love you gave unselfishly and never forget
cause you are my friend my first my saviour
