Standing Alone

As a mother with no other, 
I stand alone but I am as soild as a stone.
With my children there is only love,
They were sent from above.
I thank God for them every day,
He is is always there to show me the way.
I wished so much their fathers were dads,
They just turned out to be cads.
If they only knew the love they gave away,
they might have stayed.
What they lost was my gain and there is no pain.
I have no regrets as I put her hair up with barretts.
I love them and they love me and that is the way it will always be.
