Strong and Alone.


Alone.

Raised two young kids alone.

Worked two jobs, alone.

Never let us be hungry. 

Never let us want for anything. 

My mom struggled. 

Struggled, alone. 

And she grew strong. 

Learned to be brave alone. 

Learned to support herself, and us, 

Alone. 

She was strong, and alone.
