"a Simple Life"

Our life with a mom and never a dad.
Made the best of everything we had.
Sometimes we were happy sometimes we were sad.
Through my childhood I always felt mad.
It was great to have our love for each other.
The love I got from my sisters and brothers.
We done all we could to make life easier for our mother.
The love she felt for us made us feel smothered.
With everything we got we had to share.
Thank goodness our granny was there.
We had a simple life but it was good.
Mom done ezaccly what she should.
Teresa Skyles

Sounds like your grandma and mom had to work hard to raise you and your siblings, Teresa. Knowing how you turned out, I'd say she did a great job! Love, Carolyn
