Some thought I was crazy
Some thought it absurd
That I should consider this plan
After all I was single
Not even attached to any one man
I saw it differently, I had my own view
I met a man that I'd never have
He was involved but discontented
I told him I just needed some comfort
Well like turned to love and I knew
If I couldn't have all of his heart
I had control to take a small part
I chose to have children
I chose my own path it's true
Even if we were parted, he would never be gone
Though the small part I kept, kept on growing
Into two sons I loved and adored
They were the piece of the puzzle
The pieces I needed to have
Together we made a whole
I watched as they grew and explored
I loved them and showed I adored
They grew to be strong and devoted
The bond it can never be broken
Three of us are our own trinity
Three sides that make our life whole
Whether apart or together
Our lives intertwine without question
What's done to one, is done to us all
As I grow older, I pray more and more
That they will find a true love
Someone to trust and understand them
Someone who sees what we've done
Each of us only a phone call away
Ready to help lend a hand
A sounding board to hear all that's hurting
A shoulder to cry on and arms there to hold
I've yet to figure who's been the teacher
And who's been the student through the years
I only can tell you through tears and laughter
We made it together, its' worked for us well
I can't say I don't have regrets
And wonder how selfish I was
To bring them into the world
Knowing that I'd be alone
To love them to teach and support them
Not giving them two parents but one
But sometimes we must follow our feelings
Though it goes against conventional ways
With that being said I will have to admit
It wasn't as easy as I thought
If not for the love and support of my family
My road would have been rocky and steep
I had good examples to follow
I had arms to run into when I would feel weak
My boys are best friends and companions
There's no one who can come between
And that's what I hoped and I prayed for
And that's how it always will be
So I think even though I went it alone
I got what I'd prayed for those long years ago
