The Closest To Heaven

The closest to heaven I ever got was when I knew their going to be a you. When I felt you I never felt something more true. I even cried for you, Knowing if something ever harmed you I’d fight for you Knowing what ever you looked like I still would never have seen anything more beautiful as you. Doing the best for you is all I ever wanted to do. But letting go was the hardest thing I had to do. Letting you go to a life I couldn’t give you. I never knew I could love as much as I loved you. The closest I ever got to heaven was when I gave birth to you.
