And if you are lucky
God will give you one like mine.
Author notes
This was my first try at a PIXIKU on AP and actually my first poem.
My name is HALEIGH and I am known as HaleighGrace here on AP.Had my beautiful stepmom never graced my life--i truly believe i do not know where i would be today. I believe everything happens for a reason and when she entered my life 10 yrs ago--i was trully blessed as she became mother to me ,my little sister Hannah and a wonderful wife to my father. And now we have a baby brother who is almost 2 yrs old. In the few words I have spoken in this write--I have said a million.
HALEIGH

this is a wonderful write! it expresses nice sentiment. kudos for doing a form too, i'm not one who's able to restrain myself to a certain form in most instances, so people who can impress me. thanks for the entry!
-
I used to foster children and adopted a few long time ago.
Nice to know there are still good people out there. -
Aww that's lovely... not many people appreciate their stepmums/dads very much, I don't know why. People presume they are Cinderalla related, but they aren't always, I know many people who have step parents who are really nice. I'm sure your stepmum is really flattered and honoured that you care about her so much.
-
I like this. I would like to see more of what your life was like before the defining moment and why this was truely a defining moment for you.

She should be happy to have you. Very touching and nice
Thank-you for the entry.

This is really gorgeous. Your step mum's very lucky to have someone like you write this for her. You've fitted heaps of lovely feelings into three short lines. Great work.
Thanks for entering.

This piece is beautiful and comes straight from the heart. I am glad that your stepmom is perfect to you, for I know many people that have stepmothers as bad as Cinderella's and Snow White's! You should keep up the great writing and the love towards your stepmother. I know that her love for you can never be destroyed. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing! Also, good luck in the contest!

This is really kool, your very lucky to have a nice step-mum.

This is good enough to be on a Hallmark card for stepmoms. Gold Crown Quality since straight from the your heart.
