A Mothers Plea

I’m not gonna pretend, I know what life is? I won’t stand and pretend, the almighty god, saved me! I’ll never walk a marathon, for petty crime, Or kill an enemy, because I can. I won’t enforce, the court of law, Or pretend the bible, is Christ to the core. Never would I doubt, my faith, Or boast to others, their faiths a waist. No I won’t lose hope, in strength within, Or condemn those, who have given in. I won’t condemn, a suicidal man, I'll applaud his might, for what he’s endured. I can’t escape, my violent thoughts But I can resist, knowing it won’t resolve, the life that I’m in!!! I will allow them to listen, and repeat all their lies, Knowing in myself, the truth will lye. I’ll let them listen, and call it neglect, But I'll stand in court, for the lives I protect. We may part, with a tear in our stride, But I'll show the power, of mothers own will. I'll prove to the world, I'll never give in, Knowing their hearts, waiting on me. I'll promise a power, that can never broke, A bond so fierce, it will leave us to be, the family, the love, my kids and me.

A very moving write from one who obviously dotes on their children. Beautiful yet sad, flowing with emotion.
