On My Own

“On My Own” I knew it was time to move on I felt that feeling of love gone You were not there to see your child born Torn between a man and a child Being free and running wild I had to move with your child in my arms I had to be a protector and let no one bring him harm I never looked back because I saw it totally black A little afraid so I moved on into the light Only one thing on my mind is to make your child’s life turn out right I laid in the bed with my little one close to my heart I knew I had to give him the best start I could not let him down because you wanted to be the center of attention Really a clown My little one is a man and he has made big plans Sometimes holding me up and grabbing my hand I cried he wiped my tears away But in his gentle voice he said, mommy it will be okay Years have passed its graduation day Sorry to hear you passed away You missed his graduation, first word and to walk Every time I looked into those big brown eyes; I’d see you He never asked or wondered where you were, as so many children will do I’ll only tell him the one great thing that you did You gave me this wonderful gift…. A beautiful kid!
