I was given love
I was given life
I was given A CHANCE

So will they
They WILL have a chance
I will work my hardest

I will give my all to make sure that they have a chance
to choose
to live every opportunity

I cannot choose right for them
But I will give them
every chance to do that on their own
to choose right

They will have a chance at life
Under my care
So I pray to have strength enough
faith enough

to love everyone
to carry everyone
to look for the best in everyone

I may be only one
But I am also one with God

If you ask in the writing forums (especially the fiction one) they'd be happy to look at your work. :D Andit was no problem.
