Today wasn’t a good day,
It wasn’t my worst day,
I’ve had a lot worst days.
Being caned at school wasn’t a good day,
Watching poppa praise and love my cousins while telling me how much he hated me, wasn’t a good day.
When the only person in the world who loved and cared for me died, wasn’t a good day.
Finding myself homeless, wasn’t a good day.
Having a baby by a man that I didn’t love, wasn’t a good day.
Finding a so-called boyfriend in an incestuous relationship with his vulnerable sister, wasn’t a good day.
Living with the foster parents from hell, wasn’t a good day.
Meeting my husband, was a very good day.
My wedding day, was a very good day.
Now life is just fine,
I have a peaceful mind,
I sit and reminisce,
I watch the sunset and sunrise,
I watch the moon at night,
I watched the flowers grow, I so love spring,
I listen to the birds sing,
I watch my grandchildren grow.
I love my family they are my everything.
