Kl Williams Poet Rhyme

A Single Mom

A single mom, no one wants to be.
But there came a time, when there was only three.
For a brief while, I moped about.
Then I sucked it up, and did without.

I made a promise to you right then.
I'll be by your sides til the very end.
Day by day, we'll take this quest.
In my mind, you deserve only the best.

So smart and creative, you've both become.
More proud I couldn't be of either one.
My princess and knight, you'll always be.
I can't wait for you to grow old with me. 

I hope that you will never say...
"My single mom, did okay."
But instead, you will shout with a voice filled with sound..
"My single mom, is the best around!"

Jean Murray November 12, 2015 at 3:34 PM You go girl!! I can't believe you are an accountant. In my head that profession clashes so much with making poetry like this. Kl Williams November 12, 2015 at 3:35 PM Thanks! Yeah, there are a lot of things in my life that aren't quite right. hahaha :)

Mark Woods August 28, 2015 at 1:25 PM I'm sure they'll yell the latter. I remember this poem from when I first joined the soup and I was too shy to comment then lol. I got my wife to read it as it applied so well to a friend of ours who is still moping after 2 years after her marriage broke up! Kl Williams August 28, 2015 at 2:50 PM Aww, well thank you for the comment! I hope your friend can get it together soon!! It's not such a bad gig. :)
