Lady

I've known the woman all my life
                       we've had our good we've had our strife.
                she raised my brithers and myself
                we weren't rich but we had wealth.
                        I'm talking of the love we shared
                        she gave us love because she cared.

                Twenty years without new shoes
                she worked so hard and payed her dues
                         He'd come on payday and steal the glory
                         of course we loved him but we knew the story.
                 She is all that we have now
                  I wish I could tell her but I don't know how.

                          We fuss and fight and disagree
                           she demands her rights and I am free.
                   I've turned around and walked away
                   but I think about her every day.
                           I hate the way some things occur
                           but she is my mother and I love her.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
