Array ( [sid] => 116862 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I'm trying to be.... [time] => 2006-03-22 16:43:18 [hometext] => I wrote this four years ago, at the time life was so tough and scarey, and now four years on life has changed completely, but its good too look back at those times and appreciate the things you have. [bodytext] => I'm trying to be the woman I've become
I'm 26 years old and I'm a single mum
My only hope is that I'm gettings things right
So at times I worry and can't sleep at night.



I have two beautiful boys, they are both five
They're my entire world, they keep me alive
They've bought into this life of mine
Unconditional love which feels devine.



I may be single, a Mum and a Dad
But to me it's an honour of which I'm so glad
For both of my boys I shine with pride
Through this journey of life, together we glide.



I want to be perfect,I'm trying my best
Though I wish I could put these worries to rest
But still I am the proudest and happiest mum
So I guess I AM the woman I've become.

Well I don't think you have to "try" anymore. Four years later, with Carl at your side, you're DOING PERFECT! So far in my reads of your poetry, you display an open intimacy with your words. Congratulations!
