T.A. Skyles-Theoklapoet Poet Free verse

A Hard Life

A HARD LIFE

Times were hard without a dad just a mom.
Things were never easy for her to raise seven kids.
On her own she worked at all kinds of jobs.
Thank God for her family and friends cause
without them her life would have been harder.
Sometimes food was scarce but she always
managed something.We shared our clothes
cause there wasn't alot of money but she kept 
us happy.So mom's are special especially mine.
           Teresa Skyles
