Ode To Mum

By emily2u | From the Heart | 7 May 2021

Mum, the superwoman,
Works from day till night,
Like no ordinary human,
Yet stays cheerful and bright.

Now a single mother,
Left by her husband of ten years,
Raising two sons and a daughter,
Her beloved dears.

With three children to care,
Can’t afford to be weak.
To be lazy, doesn’t dare,
Cos of the seven-day workweek.

Her one great hope
For her offspring,
Is that in life, they can cope,
Even with this upbringing.
