Stepmom is My True Mommy
When sorrow was a heavy cloud,
You brought the sun's embrace.
Lost in the silence, once so loud,
You filled my world with grace.
No blood ties could define
The bond we've come to know.
You stepped in, made my life shine,
And love began to grow.
Through seasons, joys, and fears,
You've been my steadfast guide.
Drying all my silent tears,
With your heart open wide.
You chose to love, to stay, to fight,
For a child not born, but grown.
Stepmom by chance, Mom by right,
In every way, my own.
