My Life

My Life Today a new day I open my eyes To see new things of joy, love, and laughter It makes me feel alive Making my first move as I slip out of bed I stretch out my concerns and prepare for the best While my mother shouts out goodbye I acknowledge the hard work that she provides As I learn Work is not an option but a way of life I respond with a good bye and I continue to start my day Putting on my right shoe first to start the right way I’m ready for work, well dressed for now With my keys in my hand then off heading into town But before I go how could I forget I kiss my sisters forehead and I whisper “I love you always” as she continues to rest These girls are the reason that keep me alive For I would do anything to protect them of any day of any night
