 | Being a single mother Means doing what you have to do to survive It often means being mommy and daddy Doing everything on your own Climbing flights of stairs Carrying baby and bags of groceries Dealing with discipline and temper tantrums Potty training Sickness Late night bottles and diaper changes Working, going to school Living on coffee Hustling, hustling, hustling Paying bills Getting the car repaired Studying, working, mothering Sleeping, if there's time Standing in long lines And jumping through hoops Applying for this that and the other Cuz you don't receive child support And every little bit helps In and out of court With baby daddy drama (Where in the world Does a man get off Leaving a mother to do all the work Yet still demanding his "rights"?) Constantly making do Working with what you got Trying to turn a dime into a dollar All this And still finding the time To nurture your child Play with him Make him feel valued and loved All this Yet you never wonder Why you ever had a child Cuz one smile Is like the brightest sun After the worst storm And no hug ever felt as good "Take this gift", God said "The greatest I have given you Besides salvation. Take this child and mold him into someone great." And I replied "Yes Lord, I will." |
