I Am Oh So Lucky

I am oh so very, very, lucky

Why is that, you may enquire,

I have known and felt true love

Pure love, in its entire.

***

Most stages of my life have involved

Some type of pure raw exquisite love,

I’ve lived, breathed and honoured

As much as I could of the love above.

***

I first experienced this beautiful emotion

When I was living in a children’s institution,

Luckily I had two big Sisters on my side

Their pure love, for me, a forgone conclusion.

***

It was the bond of this true Sisterhood

That I was so lucky to have growing up,

These two souls were the saving grace

And for that I thank my good luck.

***

I met my soul mate at the age of thirteen

And I was lucky to give and receive,

A love so pure and sweetly innocent

That to this very day the loss I grieve.

***

I’ve been graced with the love of friendship

But one special friend filled my heart,

The unconditional love he shared

Has made his death extremely hard.

***

Next my fabulous luck showered me

With the birth of my two fantastic boys,

If you’ve never experienced this bond

You’ll not know how lucky I am to enjoy.

***

You know if that was the extent of my life

I’d still consider myself as ‘oh so lucky’,

As the best title I have ever received

Is the crown of all titles, “Mummy”.

***

I thought I had used up all my luck

But then I married a man of passion,

Although this love was brutal and hard

I’m still grateful that it happened.

***

So although I now live a life on my own

And I may have lost so much,

I still feel extremely lucky

For my life has been full of love’s touch.
