Proud of Me

As a Cancer, I get quite emotional I tend to focus on the negative. But as a Cancer, I am of greatness There’s so much about me that’s positive. I have been hurt so many times before Yet my heart is still capable of love. I believe in faith, hope, and compassion, Something sent from Heaven above. The first in my family to graduate college, Got my social work license on the first try; A job, car, home, money in the bank, Life so great it would make me cry! I have a beautiful 5-year old daughter And I take a lot of pride in being a mother. She’s my absolute best accomplishment And I cherish her like no other. Unemployed for a year, bitter at first But now I’m no longer stressing. Unplanned time off so I began writing again, Which I now see as a true blessing. I love to write because it reaches people; I want to inspire the world. My very first book was published TODAY And makes me one big happy girl! No job and broke, yet, I still have my home My car is still here and almost paid off. My daughter is in good health and so am I All my bills paid and that’s more than enough. Just made 30 and things are going right I have no room to ever complain. God continues to smile upon me And there’s so much more for me to gain.
