what makes me tick?

im being asked what makes me tick? being a single mom of one a college student a part worker being an intern at 25? no none of those things makes me tick it makes me grow I go days, weeks, months without getting a new hair do without getting a full night sleep waking up next to a fussy but oh so beautiful little girl checking my bank account to be sure we can catch the bus in the morning none of those things makes me tick sometimes having headaches for days and not knowing where the pain in my lower back is coming from maybe from falling asleep on the catch because I have a thousand things on mind again none of those things makes me tick because they say what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger getting pregnant at 19 didn't make me tick thinking that I had the whole thing figured out family, love, a husband? none of those things makes me tick as I sit and hope and pray that one day God will say here is the man I want you to marry those things don't make me tick i hope day i can cry from all the joy and excitement and my daughter can know what a father is he doesn't make me tick not even sick again they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger be strong my queen, keep your head, you have so far to go don't look back don't feel tick off don't blessed that you made it this far
