The single mother

To the single mother with two kids,
Raising hope with adult needs

Crying infants and bottled meals
Rushing home to late feeds

Begging more from drained tits
Closed taps and late bills

Making promises to those kids
Love comforts when fear bleeds

Why rejoice and borrow still
Bring me those children and don't kneel

Bended knees won't bring gifts
Yes you are a fighter so don't quit

Don't be surprised when friends leave
Marriage sermons and lost dreams

To the single mother with no peace
He is just a silly man whose nose bleeds

... of broken promises and two kids.
