IN PRAISE OF A SINGLE MOM
I wonder what you were thinking
You had no time to weep
You were going to have a child
You were determined to keep
Suggestions came from everyone
How could you bear the shame
No husband and a missing father
The child would have your name
You gave me life, you gave me love
Forgetting all your future plans
You nurtured me to adulthood
Without a father’s hand
We cried together laughed together
We weathered all the storms
To me you are the best
In all the world, my Mom
~ Gerardo Campbell
I have a lot of respect for single moms. They do it all and then some usually without any help. A mature man can find that extremely attractive. Listen to what one son has to say about his MVP mother, Wanda Pratt. Happy Mother’s Day!
