Love Poem: Unconditional Hero

Unconditional Hero

I want to tell you about two heros;
Who took me in, when my life hit zero.

You took me in, and gave me a home;
Cause you loved me, just like your own.

Even though you didn't have much;
I'm talking of money, not the love and such.

I had so much love at the end of the day;
It filled a hole that went many different ways.

I took a while for my heart to heal;
And there is a scar, it's part of the deal.

I gained a mother, father, sisters and brothers;
who gave me love, a love like no other.

Even though the times were rough;
We survived, cause our family is tough.

You were always there;
Even when I thought no one cared.

When mama died, my life hit zero;
Aunt Olethia, Uncle Bobby, you are both my hero.

But for now I'll dream of you, till I see you in heaven again;
But until I can hug you, my heart will not mend.
