There are times in my life
When there was no lower to fall
But i kept my head high
And listened to myself roar

I remember sitting by the window
waiting for my sis
to hear her key in the lock
and to give her a little kiss

But when she did not come home
I found out she was dead
Her body small and bruised
lay in a hospital bed.

Her bright red hair
paled her lovely face
I sat and cried for hours
cos it was such a waste

When I was 13, 3 years on from then
My daddy died in a plane crash
and I was alone
again.

I had nowhere to turn to
Life was such a mess
My friends tried to help me
I know they did thier best

Eventually I grew stronger
And my mom made a new home
And i got myself a boyfriend
and started living alone

And now I have a family,
My daughter's going on 1
I don't know what I'd have done
If I hadn't found the one

The positive attitude shown in this poem is great!!!  I'm sorry to hear of the sad things that have happened in your life.  This is a really good poem you've used to express you feelings !
