I Never Knew...

My life has changed in ways I never knew it could,
Ask me five years ago where I saw myself, and I wouldn't have known where I stood.

So I come to you today to share,
How I discovered love in ways that are rare.

My hope is that even if your life does not go as planned,
you can see how the unexpected in life is incredibly grand.

I Never Knew the overwhelming love of having a child until I had my little boy,
There is no way to describe it except that nothing brings me more happiness and joy.

I Never Knew at age 31 I would be raising a teenage girl and a baby boy all at one time,
But these moments will define me and show that through everything we will still make it through just fine.

I Never Knew all the struggles that I would face- from family to money issues- hey we have all been there,
Yet these struggles only make me stronger, more prepared and less unaware.

I Never Knew how watching my husband being a father would make my heart blossom,
From the gentle way he helps with homework to the way he makes them laugh is incredibly awesome.

I Never Knew I'd get so lucky in life to have a whole-hearted family to love,
Because you see it hasn't been easy
But What in Life that is worth living forever is.....

So I leave you with this- remember, I am still learning too,
When Life has you down and you think things aren't going your way,
The "never knew" can truly make tomorrow a better day.
