Jenny Brewer Poet Free verse

Single Mum Done

I am all woman
But yet am strong
because I've had to be, 
little did I know 
that fate would deal me a blow 
and leave me alone 
to raise my family. 

Don't be mistaken, 
I welcomed my fate, 
so that I could raise my family
with love and no hate.

My duties are now over,
I feel I did succeed, 
I provided love and care 
and all they would ever need. 

My children, now young adults 
are intelligent and polite, 
as difficult as those years were, 
I think I did it right!
