Finding Happiness   I was not born With a silver spoon In my mouth In fact we often struggled We had five kids In our house But we had love And plenty of that And we learned to chase Our dreams Our parents taught us that I have had my share of struggles As I’ve walked this road of life Had my share of ups and downs My share of pain and strife But I kept on walking Kept looking ahead Searching For the pursuit of happiness And I found it Up ahead All I ever wanted was to be a Mommy and a wife To have my basic needs And to have love in my life I never wanted to be Rich or famous I never wanted, to see my name in lights I just wanted, a happy loving home And I have that in my life I found my happiness I am content I could not ask for me As I have been Blessed Yes we sometimes struggle As many of us do But we survive, because we stick together And our love Pulls us through I may not be remembered By many when I die But I will die a happy woman Because loved Has filled My life All I ever wanted Was to be Just who I am Today I always lend a hand, to those who are in need And that makes me feel, good and happy inside What more could I need In life So I have found my happiness Some may call it a boring life But I am happy to be A mother and a wife Some seek fame and fortune Thinking money makes you happy In life But money can’t buy What I have been Blessed with In my life By badmac © 2008 badmac (All rights reserved)
