With or without reading my post earlier today, I'd like to share this with everyone. I just finished it in January, but I have worked on it for some time. I hope you like it. 
I Am Her Stepmother
I am her stepmother,
And I am proud to be,
God has given me this important job,
And it is Him I aim to please.
I am her stepmother,
A promise to her I have made,
To guide her and protect her,
And to teach her in Gods ways.
I am her stepmother,
In some ways different,
Some the same,
No matter how I'm seen by the outside world,
I always know my place.
I am her stepmother,
Her father's partner for life,
I will show her how to be a mom,
And how to be a wife.
I am her stepmother,
I will struggle,
And I will cry.
When her innocence is threatened,
I will stand,
And I will fight.
For she is the future,
She is precious,
She is worthy,
And I will try,
To give her everything within my power,
Everything that is right.
I understand if I receive no credit,
I am prepared to accept all blame,
All the wonderful joys of having a place in her life,
Are worth all the tears and pain.
She has taught me the meaning of selfless love,
The value of every second of life.
I am so blessed to see the world,
And myself,
Through Haylie’s eyes.
beautiful

Just trying to be a Stepmom without getting Stepped On.
I like it, I wrote something similar, but a lot shorter ....
I like it, I wrote something similar, but a lot shorter, to/for My (S)Kids, last year...I'll find a copy if Anyone would like to read it...I think it's somewhere in My Restoration files, if none of the kids can find it...LOL

Kids are the Best and Worst Things We can do to Ourselves. When We have nothing else worth living for, We'll go on, for Them, but Oh How We Miss Our Freedom...LOL
your poem
I would like to use part of your poem for a cross stitch piece I am working on for my step mom. I have been working on writing a poem for her for a couple of years now, but have been unable to get it right.I will put on the back of the piece where I got the poem, including the link to your blog, and your blog name. If you email me back with your permission, then I will put your name as the author on the front instead of your blog site on the back. Please let know. Thank you!
