If I was an Adult
If I was an adult
I’ve lived for a short time,for those that don’t know.
But I must say , I have received what millions have not
I have what heaven couldn’t deliver on my moment.
Dad, Mom, I want you to know,You have done everything, you have been everything. You’re love for me, was never ever in question.
I saw you’re eyes, if I never told you,you made me the warrior.
Thank you
If I was an Adult that I could explain
I would say, please know that I am now watching over all of you Please dad and mom forgive yourself. I know others don’t know how to tell you.
You have gone to all ends of earth, Now have peace.
Let this day forward be where your lives await you.
My brothers and sisters need you more now then ever before. Bring them to the same place in order for all to walk the path together.
I know it hurts,believe me.
I am so grateful to receive you as parents.
One day was enough to know you loved me, and I had many more.
People treasure what’s outside the embrace,but I found comfort there.
The number of the stars above is how many little things you did for me.
So you could see the count ,thats how many ways I love you.
Dad ,grandpa Said I am what I am. That means that I’m you dad, you mom,grandpa, gramma ,my siblings, my aunties ,uncles and cousins. I am what I am and that was through you . I am proud.
