My motivation
The sun always shines when a new life comes to earth
But everything is grey when another goes 8 feet into the earth
Now there is 5 fatherless children
And a mother wondering if there’s enough food in the kitchen
What is she to do then?
Give it all up?
Or give it her all
To see her children at the end stand tall?
The path is rough
But to a loving mother this isn’t even a thought
To her, all her children are the unpolished diamonds in the rough
She sees the tremendous potential, even when they don’t
Let them down? I’m almost positive she won’t
It’s been 10 years now
Now I’m the youngest of them all
And none of us are yet to stand tall
Now I promise to myself to at least give it my all
How my mother has done till this day
Now I only pray to make momma proud
And make the sun shine its brightest that day
