You saved me Once so afraid of being alone I made way too many mistakes I took many chances on stupid romances My heart took some falls and some breaks Then one of those guys in the crowd Stepped forward and up to the plate He made a base hit on my heart And I caught the ball, but too late He stole home, and then stole away With not many words of goodbye And left me there, holding the ball No longer believing the lie About love and forever and such No marriage, no vows and no ring But a baby was growing inside A marvelous, miracle thing And for once in my life I was sure That no matter how it had begun This sweet little baby so pure Whether beautiful daughter or son Would be someone whom I would adore Someone who would give me a chance To be someone important, and more: A Mom, to the end of Life's dance For my baby, I had to be strong For my baby, I had to be brave Together we'd truly belong My young life your new life would save And now, looking back through the years To that time, with its sorrow and pain If it meant that I would still have you I would make that mistake once again Poetry
