[hometext] => the emotions of having to work and be a single mom
[bodytext] => driving down the road like a river my tears flow on my way to work another day i must live for the little ones in my life must go to work and say good bye leave them in others hands and let them hold them nuture their hearts fill them with compassion and care bandage their wounds with a kiss and a bandaid too put thier shoes on and out side, with them run laugh and giggle create imaginations large and little while i leave for work and cry in sheets of tears- but too, for me they cry why do you have to leave mommy, why? tugging and pulling kicking and screaming i blow a kiss and leave for at work, i must be their eyes saddened full of their mothers love sinks deep down in my heart so deep i feel it ripping me apart i must go to the bathroom pull myself together to make some money greet people smiling make their lives, even in the moment happy get out of myself a little and see the need for me out in the field of service and working then back home again my kids hold me tight to them then finally, i get to nourish them kiss thier broken hearts bandage their open hurts hold them tight kiss their no longer saddened eyes take them on a fun adventure little or small, fun and laughter we share then to their beds they retire and await to a day of another just the same as this day to repeat their joys and pains- the world as a single mother love pain laughter, hard working labor this love doesnt get surpassed the kind where love long lasts past the stories and the swings it goes beyond to the world of working to provide the best i can for my babies yet a love never taken for granted always a love for them of passion to make up for the absence to give them the love and life worth lived to teach them survival and why we take the harder road to be ever so strong standing in this world- [comments] => 1 [counter] => 405 [topic] => 23 [informant] => Adelle [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => FamilyPoems )
