she raises three kids
practically- alone
with little help around
her children- find her struggling
to go to bed at night
with so much that is on her mind.

she would do anything
to make them happy
to see a smile
on their faces

she works her **** off, every day
to make ends meat
but- she doesn't feel
that it is good enough

If only- she knew
how much
she means to them
before the day
came to a bitter,sad end.
