March 15th Prompt: The life & times of me

Only me

How do I explain my life
And share it all with you
Capturing all the glory
Of what I went through
Through the happy times
where sadness had a role

It did not defeat me nor
Take from my goal
I am not unique in my
Stature, but one can truly see
Uniqueness is in forming
The best in who I can be

I don’t want to be remembered
For the things I went through
I want to be remembered
For all that I could do
I’m known for my sense of humor
My laughter I easily share
My giving heart encompasses
The true meaning of care

I always try to be a friend
To anyone in need
To offer myself honestly
In life is how I lead
A mother that is loving
To a fault, some might say
I only seek to show my girls
How to make it, day to day

In the end there is only me
My mistakes I never hid

I only pray to our Lord
He’ll be pleased in what I did.
