LIfe As It Is

Growing up without a mother wasn't easy She was never there for me She was always looking dizzy My dad was always there for me He constantly showed his love for me He told me how much he cared for me But I always wondered where my mom was in my life One day as I grew older I realized that I had to accept life as it was I had to accept that all I had was my father That my mother wasn't going to change for me That she didn't want to change She loved the life she lived So I began to love the life I lived Began to accept the good with the bad And smile when I was sad Didn't let the fact that she wasn't there for me bother me Or in fact affect me to do better Actually her not being there motivated me Made me want to be someone better Someone who actually did something with their life And that is why I have learned to accept life as it is.
