My Favourite Gift

I once had something special,
A gift to me from another,
It wasn't a particular object,
But came from everyone but my mother,
After she threw me out,
And my heart filled with doubt,
As I was only a little girl,
Who needed a mother in the world,
So god gave me a new one,
With it came a sister and two brothers,
And then when any challenge came,
I could look at it without fear,
Because when they came near,
There was always love here.
