Sherri

The woman that took me under her wing
This woman gave me everything

She gave me hope
Which was the only thing that kept me afloat

She gave me courage I never had
It kind of makes me sad
This woman most of all gave me love and understanding

No matter what went wrong she was right by my side
Even if she couldn't help she made a point to try

I want this woman to know how I feel
I want this woman to know I am for real

She is my mind and my soul
This woman is my Aunt Sherri
