*A Mothers Thoughts*

The word Dysfunctional describes my family down to a tee
Sisters, daddy, mommy, and once even me
Now two more has come into this family tree
My baby nephew, my Mya-Rose, please let the cycle end with me

Mya-Rose came into my life bursting out into the suns shinning light
To heal the broken part of me that was the story of my life
Never knowing from day to day what I must do in order to survive, what Battle I would have to fight
Just to keep what was mine and to make things right

Longing for something but not knowing what
Dreaming of a love so true beginning with a gentle touch
I look upon my baby's beautiful face and I love her so much
I pity her father who may never know his little girl and only remember his lust

God brought Mya-Rose into my life
To make a difference and set it right
I must admit she was not in my plans on that night
Plans that changed when first I knew that inside of me
Was a brand new life

Words not spoken aloud but I hope they're in this new mothers mind
Maybe just maybe life for her now will be more generous and kind
The past left in the past, forgotten able to leave it behind
The future a bright and shinning star and maybe true love she now can find
