strength and sacrifice
April 18, 2016
Once before stoodeth a marvelous sight
Hypnotized when thou speaketh unto me
Now thou words make my heart put up a fight
Loving thee stings like a carpenter bee
Yet, thou hurest me, why I still stayeth?
For thou provide o'er the fruit from my womb
Staying, hoping God hear when I prayeth
Wishing to flee this repetitive dome
Gaining strength to conquer adversity
Living for the well being of my fruit
Leading them to a university
So that they will never be told to mute
For my children will have a booming voice
And let people know that they have a choice
