[bodytext] => I am not the greatest mother and never professed to be But I raised my kids to the best of my ability I smothered them with love, because I wanted them to know The difference between real love, and loves that’s for show I wanted more for them than I had in my life I wanted to fast-forward the struggle and strife I wanted to not have to answer why daddy is gone I wanted to keep from saying he was too weak to be strong I wanted to save them the disappointment of fake family and friends I wanted to protect them from the heartache of first love when it ends I wanted to give them the best things money could buy I wanted to save them from bad dreams that made them cry I wanted to shield them from the racism we live in today I want them to know they can make a difference in a big way I want them to know they were born to do great things I want them to never stop hoping and believing in their dreams and to know that no mater how sad or hard life may be that those times, or just stepping-stone’s to their destiny [comments] => 1 [counter] => 269 [topic] => 43 [informant] => desire [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 13 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
