The Woman In My Life

Folder: 
2006

In my teenage years

I never did understand

What you did and said

Or why the heavy hand

 

I thought you were rash

Horrible and mean

And plenty more words

That just aren’t clean

 

But I see you now

In a much different light

How I can speak

To such a beautiful sight

 

You never did mean

To cause me pain

But you knew my demons

Had to be slain

 

What I wish to do now

Is just say “Thanks”

For the smiles and joys

The smacks and spanks

 

It was more than hard

This I am sure I know

Yet you did your job

And helped me grow

 

Now I’m still becoming

A woman beautiful and strong

It’s going to be a while

God knows it’s been so long

 

And when I look at you, Mom

Do you know what I see

I see the wonderful woman

That I am going to be
