My First Love


You were the first to teach me what love was

And for that I am grateful because

You taught me

And he taught me as well

The both of you were there to pick me up when I fell

That was then…

Now I am walking to victory without you

The both of you

 Motherless

And fatherless

But I still fight for your love

To see you again up above

I am growing to forgive

So that I can live

A life for the better

To forget her

Act of senseless ways

So that it pays

For me to be stronger

To be there for my love one day

And I pray before I lay

To feel your love again

My first love

My mother
