When I was lost and confused,
tossed aside and thrown away,
you blanketed me with kindness,
for as long as I needed to stay.
You gave me a safe haven from the cold,
just a child on my own.
Standing by my side,
you opened up your home.
Through tough lessons and trials,
and all the moments in between,
you were there with encouragement,
shaping the future me.
You cheered for my potential,
and believed I’d find my way,
and now that I am here,
I cherish all those days.
You strong convictions helped guide me,
and love gave me worth,
helping to make me the woman I am,
by being family I didn’t deserve.
Rest in peace sweet Brenda. Your memory will be celebrated forever in my life. You changed my world and will always be one of my heroes.
With love always.
