Growing Strong

At one point in time she was a loving wife I'm sure she has been through every aspect of life There is no doubt her divorce caused her strife But she is still strong..... When nights pass by and she's still alone with tear-filled eyes All she has to do is look for her children; those are her golden prizes Nothing can ruin her feeling of joy, not even silly lies She remains to be strong...... A hundred hours a week dedicated to her job, her passion to help She finds satisfaction in healing other's wounds, that's how she has always felt A heart that remains strong and caring no matter what cards life dealt She struggles but remains strong..... This is also the woman who holds me when I fall flat on my face Her words of encouragement telling me to take life pace by pace Life isn't easy, she tells me and "That's just not the case!" She teaches me to be strong..... One day I know my mother will no longer be here for me But I hope to make her proud by being half as strong as she I want to be a woman like her, that's what I truly want to be So she taught me to be strong......
