December…28 years ago…
Should have been a happy time
Instead of being born, he was given to God
This angel of mine.

Conceived on one side
Out of escape and frustration
Conceived on the other
Out of control and possession.

His name was to be Kevin
My first angel of many to come
I think of him often, an angel above
Waiting for me with a smile and a welcome.

December…today…
A much happier time
Given to me by God
Through this family of mine.

Married to my best friend
Mom to a young man
So content with my life
This was God’s plan.

Bruce and Jeremy
The loves of my life
Make me the world’s
Happiest mother and wife
