Is more than I deserve,
I am grateful.
I had parents who doted on me,
I was very stubborn,
And sometimes they would bend to my whims,
Though often they gave more attention to my other siblings,
I knew I was loved too,
I became a daughter they were proud to have.
A devoted husband,
With several flaws,
Though being perfect would have made him less human,
And very devoted would bear doubts in my mind,
I adjusted and overlooked his bearable flaws,
I became a wife he would want to spend his life with.
My children had learned not to lie to get away with things,
If they did their conscious would ***** them,
Cause whatever wrong they did,
If they told the truth,
There was no punishment,
But a solution was sought.
My son had an OCD of breaking things,
Either he thought it was a game or it was his curiosity,
We made sure not to keep anything within his reach.
Though he was naughty he was loveable.
On the other hand my daughter was bubbly talkative and full of laughter,
I had no problem with her,
She took care of her things,
Helped me around the house,
And always did what she was told,
I became a mother they could confide in and share their secrets.
I am close too with my siblings and their family,
And to me their children are like my own,
They also give me the same respect and love.
My self worth is my positive attitude towards life,
And accepting my faults,
I am truly blessed.
