Angels gave me Life

I was just a teenager with a blackened past

I could have went off the rails, as I diminished 'o' so fast

Someone heard my tears of pain as I cried myself to sleep

Because they sent me an angel with tiny little feet

 

It was the birth of my first, wow I was amazed

I couldn't stop touching him, I was truly dazed

This tiny little human, he had just come out of me

The scar on my tummy was worth his life you see

 

I called that boy Darren, cause I just loved that name

Not sure if he loves it as much, if not that's a shame

He was blonde and blue eyed, just like his mother me

Beautiful skin, and lips you want to kiss, lots he gave to me

 

Then along came another set of tiny little feet

He too a beautiful baby when him and I did meet

A tuft on his hair, darker than his brother

He looked more like his dad, but also me, his mother

 

He was a natural birth, with my mother by my side

We both looked at number two and hugged him with pride

Dean I called this angel, for Dean was a name I did love

I was blessed to give birth to them both, sent from the heavens above

 

The saddest thing of all was that I was 'o' so young

I found it hard at first, but a natural I had begun

I swore I d give up my life for them If ever was needed

Bring them up the right way, and god I have succeeded

 

I have been so lucky to have brought up two fine men of age

Even when I was depressed and my whole life was a rage

I protected them with every inch of me, no one would bring them harm

I look at them in awe, and think they both have such charm

 

If I never had them, I would not be here today

Externally I had no words, but inside I did pray

Please let me do this right, for I truly need to find the way

To make right the wrongs that others pushed on me each day

 

Guided by unseen forces I did what I needed to do

I fought all the battles, to bring up my two

I survived my depression which tried to **** my heart

But each day I loved them, made each day a new start

 

I love them with such passion, I love them ever more

I love my kisses and cuddles each time they go out the door

I love how they joke with me, and even call me titch

I may not have the money, but with their love.. I AM RICH
