Why

why can't i be like any other kid
with a loving family and has nothing bad they did
i just want to be loved by someone like my mom
who would take pictures of me at my high school prom
why can't my mom just let me in
and watch me at my softball game and tell me i'm going to win
why can't she wake me up in the morning to go to school
tell me i look pretty and that everything is cool
that is where i want her at
but i guess it will never be like that

I had a momma just like that. I made it my mission that I would be the mother to my own kids that my my mother wasn't to me. Sure, I made mistakes-as all mothers do-, but I loved them wholeheartedly and made sure they knew it. Keep your chin up; you can make a better life for yourself. Childhood is short; you have many years ahead. Remember: FISH GOTTA' SWIM BIRD GOTTA' FLY MAN GOTTA' ASK HIS SELF WHY WHY WHY (Old southern poem) ****Danielle*****

Lesa, you are like no one else you are like you, for no one else is as special like you .. no one else could write this poem for you ... your mom says nothing because she is sure. Love and peace.

If I was your momma, I give you a big hug and make you stay
