an angel

She took me in as a stranger

loved me like her own

thought of me as her own

gave everything to an ignorant and rude little girl

 

She taught me how to chew with my mouth close

she taught me how to recite the months

she taught me how to write perfectly

she taught me how to eat food

she taught me the basic guidelines of BECOMING HUMAN 101

 

She didn't get anything back in return

didn't ask for it nor expect it

just wanted me to become my best

just wanted me to become the greatest

 

the little girl became a teen

she started talking back to a person who most cared about her

she became a little snot who thought she was above it all

 

Yet, for everything she ever did to me

she altered my life

she changed my destiny

so

this is for you which words are inadequate to express

this is for you for every tear drops and heart breaks I gave you

this is for you who has no vanity whatsoever but truly, genuinely wishes the best for me

this is for you

one person in this world who I believe embodies the word Perfection

this is for you whom words i love you are inadequate

 

this is for you...

thank you for taking my life in your hands and flipping it over

i don't know what I would be now had you not taken me in

thank you....
