    MY MOTHER'S STRUGGLE

    We grew up with a single mother
    Dad abandoned us, it was a struggle.
    Mom never told us that dad was gone
    After several days we knew he wasn't
    coming home.
    Mom worked two jobs to provide for us
    She didn't have a car, so she rode the bus.
    Many times mom thought that we were sleep
    We heard her praying and sometimes she would weep.
    Her finances improved so she purchased a car
    We were tired of walking to school because it was far.
    Mom's goal  in life was to build a home
    When it was completed most of us had gone.
    Mom never mentioned my father's name again
    I could see in her eyes, that she was in pain.
    I have admiration for my dear mother
    She over came the obstacles inspite of her struggles.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
