The Best Thing About Me Is You

A lot of people take life for granted
I have been known to do it myself
Life just passes us by each day
Never knowing where tomorrow takes you

Some of us are blessed
Some of us get lucky
Some of us are happy
Some of us are chosen

You came into my life so unexpected
You were dreamed of for so many years
I never thought in a million years you’d come
You are here now and no turning back

I have been given a chance to redeem myself
In your eyes and inside your heart
You have been the reason I have fought so hard
And you have now arrived in my life again
As you enter your own teenage years

No one wrote the book on parenthood for us
Especially when you don’t have a role model
I try to create ways in order to bring peace
And educate you to have a wide path ahead

I've loved you from miles away and up close
One day I hope to see you understand
Why I made the decisions I did whether good or bad
Life's about learning, regrouping and moving forward

No one is perfect, I am a prime example
Yet I am trying to filter through the choices
To find the answer to land us on even ground
You are the motivation that drives me to be

In the years that have passed and to follow
You will look back and see I was trying
If you ever are in my shoes down the road
Remember that it’s not easy and know

The best thing about me is you!
