The me in my mom and dad

My father and  mother
I will try to be strong
For your love has help me
To find my life as my own

Every cell in my body
Was your gift made in your way  
This is why I can be strong for you
As life deals 
Worse in cards of change

I will not lie my tears fall
For I am still your baby girl inside
And to see  these moments 
A change in your life
Is why  when I am alone
Tears will fill my eyes

I hope you understand
For this is what I can say
Every day we have together
Has  made my life so safe

Why did it take me so long
Their is so much that came from you
  Its  not a wonder what makes me strong

I know we have miss
So many life times
But these hours we have now
Will be seen  by me
As that baby girl in my mind

This is a lovely piece but needs as we have gone through before, a tidy to make it flow, try to read it to yourself and then edit it in notepad. First copy and paste onto notepad then take each line and read then edit as you find a problem, then sit and copy then paste it back into the edit mode of the poetry stream. I think this is the best way to do these things. I do this to mine when someone says there is a problem with a stanza/verse or line. I do hope you don't mind me saying this but your work is great and just a little touch here and there, Yours Ian.T
