God has given me the ability
To see the real true me
To see the girl who was abused as a child
From mother to grandmother
The girl who felt rejected
The girl who seemed unloved
The girl who thought she was not pretty
The girl who was insecure with low self-esteem
The girl who turned into a young woman
Faced with the same negative emotions about herself
The woman who escaped into the arms of a man
The woman who thought this man would give her the love she was missing
The young woman who believed in fairytales of love and marriage
The woman who after two babies her dreams were shattered
The woman who lost her way and became promiscuous
The woman who did things as long as a man wanted her if only for one night
The woman who matured and realized that this was wrong
The woman who separated herself from men and dedicated her life to raising her children
The woman who gave her children’s father another chance
In hopes of her fairytale dreams being restored
The woman who realized that things had changed
And made the decision to move forward with someone else
The woman who had hope that maybe this man would love her\
The way she had always yearned to be loved
The woman who suffered much heartache and pain
Who held onto the hope that this man would be the one
The woman who had two more babies
In hopes that her family would be complete
Another dream shattered that filled her with grief
Reality has set in and this woman has learned
To embrace herself in love and not to beat herself up
And to remember that she has had love all along
To continue to be secure in the comfort
Of the arms of the Father up above
Who will always be the greatest lover of all
