[hometext] => and not break...
[bodytext] => A baby cries
a mother sighs
and holds him to her breast
Such plans she had
but life's gone mad
she tries to do her best
A soulful gaze
the crazy days
it seems they'll never end
She'll make it through
what can she do
she'll just learn how to bend
The bills need paid
the beds need made
she'll do it on her own
No time for tears
or silly fears
she'll face it all alone
She will be strong
she'll carry on
and for them both she'll fend
She will not break
make no mistake
she'll just learn how to bend

Larry, you write so well...
I can almost feel this, and it must really be terrible for women like that.
I guess life just doesn't work the way any of us planned, in the end.
This is a fantastic write, Larry.
*hugs* Phil xxx |

Brought back memories for me as I had my daughter young. It sure is a hard struggle but you gain an inner strength from their love.
Your words I can relate to from the past.
Brilliant
A million roses for this one Larry
Love Angelxxx |

Kinda sad, but still has hope at the end...Again very well done, and something I think alot of people can relate too, in the aspect of learning how to bend, for one reason or another

As a willow, a woman, especially a mother bends with the harsh winds of life .. there really is no choice. You have grown as a poet since we met last. You can write on any subject .. I thought of you once as just fluff .. romance .. hotsy-totsy.. but you are really full circle. A real poet .. I tell others that all the time ...lol. I need to listen to myself ... good work. I blow you a bubble...
