There’s so much about
my parents I could say
But to tell the details
there is just no way
I’d have to write a novel
to be able to cover all
That they’ve done for me
and it would not be small
My parents are the rock
on which I’ve been built
While many tears over me
have been by them spilt
To say there were times
that I’ve done them wrong
Would be an understatement
in the short and long
And it isn’t easy to
have to say it’s true
But if I didn’t then
I’d be lying to you
I have made them suffer
more than a daughter should
And I would take it back
if in any way I could
In alcohol and drugs
I once lost my way
For which my parents have
been often ones to pay
I don’t just mean in money
though that included too
But rather in the heartache
that I have put them through
Yet I have been forgiven
and my slate is clean
For my complete turn around
they have now clearly seen
Although my love of them
I did not always show
It is my hope and prayer
that I’ve made them know
And I take the time
in my life today
To try to show them
in every kind of way!!

Throughout my life
I can now see
The balancing act
that it can be
And I think that
most would agree
I haven’t walked
it very carefully
I know not what
ahead I’ll find
But I am aware
what I’ve left behind
I’m blessed to not
have lost my mind
Through mistakes made
of every kind
The booze and drugs
that I did use
To ease my pain
have no excuse
And the years
of my abuse
By one who forever
does me accuse
I’m lucky that
I am still here
God has a purpose
for me it’s clear
I know He does
my direction steer
For He’s protected
His child as dear
So as I go
on my way
Through this life
day by day
I know my angels
will lead the way
To whatever path
before me lay!

When someone feels
they’re without hope
How in the world
can they ever cope?
When it’s ripped
at the seams
Where’s the hope
of fulfilling dreams?
When a life
is torn apart
Where is hope found
by the broken heart?
Because it is
when hope’s lost
Will to live
it may cost
But if you can
just hold on
You will find out
that it’s not gone
It’s where you
have it hidden
For you feel
that it’s forbidden
‘Cause your heart
is broken in two
So you think
God’s abandoned you
But your soul
knows it’s there
Just as He
does truly care
Your hope will
come back one day
And the world
will be not gray
So hold on
for all you’re worth
‘Cause hope exists
on this earth!!
