Struggle

Life as a single mother is a hell of a struggle

I learned from my mother so many things to juggle

She learned it from hers too but what can I do

Keep movin and grindin as time keeps on windin

Trying to live a decent life even though money is tight

Makin moves for my sons because I’m their only one

Daddy’s gone he’s already left home to find his own

I eat less sleep less and dress less til death

Taking care of mine so they can have more than I

Love on my heart pain in my brain trying to refrain

From giving up because it’s so tough and rough

Sometimes I feel I’ve just had enough

Of this life I live not much more to give

Trying to find my grove by going back to school

Can’t sit back and wait on life’s time to move

Our day is coming God’s on our side

My boys will sit back and enjoy the ride

With the top down wind in their hair

All the haters will sit back stop and stare

Because we made it no shade for us

Only sunlight fun times good days and love

A deep and powerful message, my Sister. In the struggle, know that there are extended family Sisters and Brothers out there who share the struggle with you. Keep on keeping on; and never forget that indeed, God is on your side and that that rewarding day is coming. Peace, Love and Unity.

Thanks my Brother. God is truly with us all. We just have to stay close to Him in order to survive. Be blessed!
