Single Mother
She’s all alone,
Supporting the one she loves
No man climbing the obstacles she faces
She’s all alone,
Her job only helps her pay the bills
Not to show her child what the world offers
Her child is growing everyday
With no man there to see
The mother makes decisions she never imagined
Her child sees what she does
They see she’s all alone,
It’s seen what she goes through
She wants a better life for her child
She is always fighting to survive
Just to see her child thrive
She is weak but she is strong
It’s one way she cannot be wrong
She’s all alone,
Living in a place she would never call home
It was the only place she could find
That was decent enough for her child to breathe
Someday they would be on their own
Breathing easier than she ever has
Now she teaches her child to never,
Ever, give up on themselves or others
Because they are strong no matter what
She’s all alone,
No man to degrade her child
She prays for forgiveness
Hopes that her child will never experience what she has
Just because she knows how hard it is
To be alone,
Fighting takes strength
And that’s what she’s gained since raising her child
She raises her head high
Because she knows
No matter how hard her child falls,
She will be there to catch them, because they are not alone.
