Today's line is ... JUST LIKE MY MOMMA WAS... OURS IS ...

Perhaps when I was very young,

I saw her much differently, for

like any child, I wanted to be,

Just like my Momma was...

The years had passed into my teens

and her hands were weapons on me,

it took me to a lonely place, was it

just like my Momma was ?

I left that home of hurt and pain,

changing everything I could,

I vowed that I would never be,

just like my Momma was...

Then I found in life, a hurtful man,

who I thought I'd love endlessly,

but I was abused and found him to be,

just like my Momma was...

The more things change, the more they're the same

my longing for home became dire, but,

forgiveness I was holding close to my heart,

just like my Momma was...

I'm not the same person, nor is she,

a common ground gained in time,

I look in the mirror and I see, I'm

just like my Momma was...

We're cherishing time more, together now,

and I'm glad we've let the past go

I found a place where I want to be

just like my Momma was...

Hummm, This is a real rough one, in more ways than one ( tee hee hee )
The flow is off , it has no rhyme and I'm out of time... HELP !!

YOUR TURN
ENJOY
