Life

Life

From being born, to being a toddler,
Growing into a teenager, finally becoming an adult.
Finding someone you think you love,
Marrying, and going out into the world,
Having your own child, seeing her grow,
Then another child is born.
Death strikes, I lose my second child to God,
Can I go on with life, I am numb
For a very long time.
Thankful for my daughter, watching her become a young lady,
My life begins to focus, I want the best for her.
My marriage fails, I find that I was never in love,
I move on in life, my daughter has grown
Into a young woman, I am still struggling.
Life, I have to go on.
