Her Legacy

She toke her time with love
And laid every nice sheet for her friends to lay on it
Nicely, forgetting that she is a human
She makes mistake
She’s not perfect 

Then she toke her pain up
And left with it, leaving up nothing 
Making love 
Making babies, were there’s no money 
And poverty was so romantic

Her good soul stood up strong, 
Strength of a woman grew in her 
Strength of a mother
Enough to raise a village

Only sixteen in her bosoms
A girl
A little sister most importantly a mother
Winds blowing 
Mist falling, autumn falling summer 
Spring, springing not
Felt every pain
Felt every thoughts
Felt every words

She was just a girl
A teenage love affair
A puberty 
A period 
A pain
