Life

To My Beautiful Babies

By Annie WilliamsPublished 5 years ago 2 min read

I may be browned skin, but I am British

I have a tale to tell but not to finish

I am the girl who has always survived

In all honesty I'm shocked I'm still alive

No matter what life throws my way

I know I can turn it around but sometimes stray

I was the girl who was bullied at school

But if you look at me now I'm no fool

There are nasty people in life wherever you go

That used to make me cry and leave me low

I've met lots of people from all over the world

Who have stayed in my life like glistening pearls

For my family I have to be strong

For them I will take on the world one by one

They fill me with happiness, they fill me with joy

This beautiful young lady and my handsome young boy

And then came along two gorgeous princesses

That my beautiful girl puts in matching dresses

No matter what life throws your way

Always remember your're going to have a better day

People will always come and go

the real ones stay and you will know

What a special person you can be

one of gratitude and lots of humility

So reach for the stars and follow your dream

because nothing in life is as bad as it seems

There's something for everyone just don't give up

just do what you do and see how high you can jump

believe in me if you're filled with doubt

just listen now and hear me shout

A huge thank you to all my family and friends

because without them i wouldn't have made it to the end

but that's not quite happened yet

There's lots to do and see I'm going to bet

No matter what bad things happen in your life

Those that love you will help you to strive

My story has still got far to go

and believe me now there are things i will never know

but that's ok because life is all about

learning how to feel inside not out

And be yourself in all the right places

You don't have to wear lots of different faces

Have fun with the ones you hold dear and love

because soon my queen you will soar like a dove

I have recently discovered writing and the enjoyment it gives me to release a lot of good and bad memories. Growing up was tough and to put all that in words gives great freedom.
