My Anchor

Of course I've known the lady all my life but she not my sister or my wife. She raised my brothers 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 came on payday and stole the glory sure we loved him but we knew the story. She is all that we have now I want to tell her but I don't know how. We fuss and fight and disagree she demands her right and I am free. I turn around and walk away but I think about her every day. i hate the way that things occur she is my mother and i love her.
