My Life


When I was a baby

I didn't have nobody 

I was livin in the Foster Care 

Waitin for a family

Months went by 

Then one day a lady came 

And I got adopted 

When I was 10 months of age

They loved me 

They cared for me

They took me in

 They've been there every step of the way

And still will till the end

I love them 

And they love me too

Even though they are darker

By shades of a few

But it's like my momma says

Love ain't got no color

 I'm just happy to have a home to call my own

And a family

And a mother

This is my life

Ain't no way I would change it

This is my life

And I'm lovin every minute

This is my life

And I cherish every moment 

This is my life

And I'm happy to have a family to show it.
