No One To Share My Life
Although I never truly found, someone to share my life
I've been a mother many times , and three times been a wife
I have five lovely children, of whom I am quite proud
I love to brag about them, their praises shout out loud
They may not know I feel this way, I need to tell them so
The happiness of raising them, and helping them to grow
They are the major reason, that I can truly say
Success is in my story, they brighten every day
I have been so distracted, it seems my whole life through
By difficult men I've married, and burdens I carried too
Sometimes I did neglect them, they think that I don't know
But I often think about them..... because I love them so
I know they all forgive me .... for the many mistakes I make
They also know without them... my lonely heart would break
From the day they were placed into my arms, as babies pink and new
I've known contentments finest days, and love so fine and true
I wrote this poem just for them..... so when I'm dead and gone
My thoughts will be there with them.... to meditate upon
So then can look and smile at me.... as I go to peaceful rest
To know that I always felt,.... my kids were just the best
