mom


It began with nine months Now I'm twenty-five Almost twenty-six Just the other day you held me in your arms You laughed you cried told me I was your success story in the beginning it was only a dream That turned into reality You almost died to give birth to me And time has flown by Now I'm halfway to thirty You treat me as if I'm still a kid And that's okay cuz I'm always your kid When I was twenty-two I drank myself to death and you gave me life once again from that day forward I ain't picked up a bottle I've made it to twenty-six because of you
