Tapestry

~TAPESTRY~ To be born was quite a struggle my mum was on a motorbike All the pains had started - but things were going alright. Poverty we suffered, but our mum did the best she could Everything was hard, but we managed and in a way it did us good… Strength is in numbers and we had each other for support To survive the ills of being poor, folly we did not court Real hard times are behind us all, thank goodness most of us survived Yes life is good because we made it so, and the good times have arrived.. © ~GG~ 4/08/2012

Wow that is powerful for us, and i can relate to that, i know, i did it.............
