Beautiful Dreams of a Perfect Life

Beautiful dreams of the perfect life,
is something I've always had.
Though I can not really say,
that my life has been that bad.
I have seen the bottom of bottles,
and sung the jailhouse blues.
Though there are many other things about me,
that were happier and smooth.
I've been blessed with unconditional true love,
something many never know.
An angel from heaven sent me a daughter,
that has an indescribable glow.
She has changed me,
in so many ways you see.
She taught me about things,
that no one could ever get through to me.
Like tomorrow is a new day,
and beauty comes from within.
She taught me about being strong,
and knowing when to not do something again.
I am happy that I know her,
estatic that I am her mom.
No one else has held her as close,
or has that special bond.
I've raised her as a single mom,
and did it with pride.
Sometimes I wonder how her Daddy walked away,
when I could never leave her side.
My Beautiful dreams of a perfect life,
were nothing close to this.
Because a life this perfect,
I could have never even wished.
