My Reasons For Life

I loved once I had children But they were taken from me They were mine I loved them and they loved me I lived for them and they lived through me They were my light Now they're gone....... Taken from me as if i did anything wrong! I am a waitress They said i was too poor to raise children But i survived We never had the extras but we had what we needed There were no name brands but they had clothes There were no sweets but it rotted your teeth anyway It was not a palace but we had a home What we lacked in material we made up for in love They loved me And I love them All we had was each other But they were taken from me They are gone I am alone
