Jessica Zorn Poet Rhyme

The Single Mother

A single mother is standing alone 
And she will cry when nobody's home 
Staying up late with thoughts in her head 
Doing everything she can to keep her children fed
A Single mother is the only one there 
When the kids are afraid, or are feeling alone and scared.
Holding them tight to keep the monsters at bay
Having the right words and knows what to say 
Teaching boys to be men And girls self respect 
When deep down inside She's an emotional wreck

CayCay Godwin October 11, 2016 at 2:19 PM This is a plight I truly feel for and can't imagine how difficult the difficulties are. It is a 'boat' full, unfortunately, and I think all in said boat would concur with your expressive poem. Blessings and light ... (I hope writing helps as therapy) ...
