Hey there,
Can I tell you a secret?
On that day i learnt of your existence,
I cried myself to sleep,
I cursed that day and hoped everything was just a dream,
But, yeah you were here to stay.
Fear slowly crept in me coz I wasn't ready for you,
I thought to myself you came at unwanted times,
I wanted to give you a wonderful life,
I wanted you to be happy,
I wanted you to have the best I couldn't have,
But here we are,
I couldn't keep even half of my promises,
I feel like I've already failed you,
Walking all alone through this journey,
No, we ain't alone, Aunt Laura and uncle Kyle are here for us.
Not to forget Aunt Nimo though miles away,
To my baby,
I promised you alot,
A fancy life, with love, acceptance
But seems we started it on the wrong path, - rejection.

To my baby,
On this day,
I take an oath to be happy,
To protect you,
More happiness unto you
And guess what my love,
Its gonna be me and you against the world,
Promise to always give momma the strength to move on,
The happiness she needs
I know this is too much to ask for but
Please baby
We can do this right?
