Heaven Sent
When i look into the mirror
this is what i see
a single mother of two
staring back at me
someone who was blessed
with wonder and love
my heart was taken by strangers
that were sent from above
they stole my heart
and became my life
they definitely weren't planned
but something so wrong never felt so right
watching them play
and learn and grow
is more rewarding
then you'll ever know
someday the time will come
and ill have to let them go
but I'm sure they will do just fine
with all i taught them and all they know
