Begining A New Journey

    As I sit here and wonder what to say
    The words are swimming, but I will be okay.
    The tension is gone and it is such a relief
    I can collect my thoughts and regain my belief.

    The journey I have ahead of me now will be rough
    But I know in my heart I can do it because I am tuff.
    Lifting up my head as seeing the blazing sun
    My worries are still there, but a new life has begun.

    Which direction, I wonder, will be the best one to take
    Nothing is certain and there is bound to be a mistake.
    It would be easier if all I had to worrie about is me
    But I am glad it is not just me; for I have a son you see.

    A blue eyed teenager who has an attitude to top most
    I am his mother and would be the first to boast.
    When my spirits are down and my face produces a frown
    He is the first to lift my spirits acting like a clown.

    I am very lucky to be his mother that is for sure
    A child being around can be just the needed cure.
    The life I will make for us will be the best it can be
    We will begin a new chapter in our book just him and me.

    One day I hope I can be a wife giving all my emotion
    To a husband who will offer true love and devotion.
    A family once again of not one or two, but three or four
    The next step is to look ahead, smile, and close the door.
