"Thank You For Your cherish"
Dear mom,
You inspire me so much because you were so tough when my dad left us. You still gave us cherish and showed us that the world wasn't over, even though I felt like it was. As a single mom, and you worked so hard. There were times where we had so little to eat that you didn’t eat just so we could. We barely had clothes and people would make fun of me but I didn’t care because I knew how hard you worked. You barely slept because you worked so much for so little money but we still survived. You did everything without any wait on from a man,or Dad; he doesn't know the struggle we went through. Thank you for giving all your cherish to us, and showing us that there is more to life than pain and sorrow. We could overcome it. You did it, and so i feel I can overcome anything I travel through.
cherish you Mom,Guadalupe
***"She Is"
She is clothed in dignity and laughs without a fear in the world
She has hope for tomorrow
But pain from yesterday
nowadays she holds on to the truth
What's left of it
