Single Mother


Poem Artwork

She’s a single mother
Going through the struggle
Of raising her children alone
She’s both mama and daddy in her home.

She’s in and out of court
Trying to get some type of support
But the daddy can’t seem to keep a job
He doesn’t care if his children eat or starve

Just because they didn’t marry
He doesn’t feel he should be a “daddy”
So, she does the best she can
Trying to raise boys into men

Sometimes she feels so overwhelmed
Wondering if she’s going to fail them
At night she finds herself asking, “Why?”
And then sometimes she just has to cry.

The weight of the world is on her shoulders
As she watches them grow up and get older.
Sometimes they’re governed by unknown forces
And they don’t always make the right choices

But her job is to nurture and love them
And the rest is up to God if she trusts in Him.

Terry,

At least God will not abandon you. I can sympathize with your struggles as a single parent. Sometimes being a single parent can have a benefit. Not everyone is cut out to be a dad. I wish you the best of Peace, Love and Blessings, Always, Paul.
