Dedicated to Mom, Grandma, and Anthony


No one's life is perfect

I really can't complain

And if I say "I want your life"

You might say the same

 

My mom plays the role of both parents--

She takes care of my brother and I

She supports me and loves me,

She's the rock that gets me by

 

My grandma is my best friend

I don't know what I'd do without her

She makes me laugh every day

She can make you laugh too, I'm sure

 

I have a twin brother

No one understands me like he 

We're two totally different people, but

He's the same person as me

 

I never feel alone because I

Have God in my life

I know that everything happens for a reason

because His blessings are rife

 

My goals are ambitious

I only want to make my family proud

When I'm given the oppurtunity to go to college

I'm going to scream it to the world loud

 

Now I've painted a pretty picture

Of what my life is

But who's to say that

My life isn't as good or bad as hers or his?
