Hard Working Woman


       

     She sits and stares at the white envelopes, in hopes that they are'nt bills. 

She gets home from work and smells of garlic and perfume.

She sits down after working a 20 hour shift and finds blisters on her feet.

She has burn marks on her olive skin (battle scars) and stiches on her thumb.

She gathers her knives in the early morining, for creation later.

She has stains on her apron, probably from a homeade sauce she created.

She has been working her whole life, without a break.

She has a passion for love, strength and happiness.

She provides shelter, and comfort.

She was a single mother. 

She is a super mom. 

She is my mom. 

Thank you .

I am a senior at KIPP University Prep High school. I am a bright and friendly person, who loves to learn and is up for anything. I love to work on my weekends with my wonderful co-workers. I love to listen to music and hang out with friends and family. My all time favorite thing to do is watch movies with my 4 year old sister on my days off. I have always had a passion for poetry, and believe that everyone has a voice, no matter the age or skin color.
