Single Parent
I am all woman,
yet I 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.
Now don't be mistaken,
I welcomed my fate.
So I could raise my family
with nothing but love
and eradicate
the hate.
My duties are nearly over,
I feel I did succeed,
I provided
all the 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 got it right.
