The One I Love - By Chris C.

Love and hate will decide my fate.
I hope I choose the right one before it’s too late.
I love her so much and treat her so bad,
And yet her love grows so fast.
I wish I could go back and change the past,
But this I cannot do.
Please realize I would be nothing without you.
With God’s help you gave me life to start anew.
I want you to be proud, and let it be known.
To the world shout it aloud!
You need not be sad,
For I am no longer bad;
But I regret passing up all the good times we could have had.
I love you and I know you love me too.
Even though someone to call Dad I never had,
You raised me just fine – I’m all yours and you’re all mine.
Together we walk the line.
Because you’re more beautiful than a dove.
Mother, you’re the one I love.
