This poem is dedicated to all the single mothers out there, young or old . Because they are my heroes.

I watched your young life from afar, folk in town said you wouldn’t go far. You became with child, the dad left from then on it was baby and self Your life was a constant struggle you triumphed through the rubble Went back to school and got a degree Your first major was psychology You are now married with great career you are my hero, and bff of the year 4-22-17 Inspired by the Hero contest

This was beautiful Alexis and such an encouraging piece. These people who continue to fight regardless of the detours they find along the way should be considered heroes. Your poem says this wonderfully.
