Something I wrote a while back......
For my sons.......

SECOND CHANCES

Two precious gifts from heaven
Made from the making of love
Two of the happiest days of my life
The third being the day of my vows.

Mommies and Daddies sometimes, go in seperate ways
"Why?", you ask, "Do big people cause such pain?"
I guess I would have to answer by saying
Thoughtless decsions made in vain.

I wish things could be diffrent
Give you the family that you deserve
But I can only give you what I can
A mommies love with no reserve.....

If you ever think I left you
Let that thought drift far away
For every moment without you
Hurts me more then I can say.

You only have one Mommy
and that will always be me
Just like you only have one Daddy
And that will remain for eternity.

I wish I could be there every morning
And be with you each and every night
Tell you stories of strength and happiness
Then wrap the covers around you tight.

"Why is Mommy so sad, crying all the time?"
My heart is just broken and TIRED
But one day things will get better
Like your Dad, I will find someone I admire.

Until things get better all I ask is for your love
And know that when you're lonley and blue
Mommy wants to hold you and make things better
So close your eyes and feel my arms around you.

When will this all be over? You say
When will everything mend?
Right now I can't find the beggining
Let alone try to find the end.

Be patient with your Mommy
I will gain strength form your love
And if God hears my prayers
I will also get strength from up above.

All I know is I love you both
And I will be the best Mommy I can
You both live and breath inside me
And I will love you forever and then...

One day we will be together
And have happiness in our hearts
Jaden, Rylan and Mommy
Together forever, never to part.

WHAT HAVE I LEARNED FROM ALL OF THIS?
SECOND CHANCES DON'T ALWAYS COME
SO DO THINGS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME
MAKE YOUR FAMILY NUMBER ONE.........
