Ode to a Single Mother – The Settle Down Selections

Daily writing prompt

What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?

Our fathers have passed

Our fathers have left

Our mothers have tried

Our mothers stood tall

Now the world says we should be ashamed

O no, that I will not do

I will not feel shame about the one that raised me, raised me against all odds

O no definitely not, for I know that woman is a queen

O no I am not sorry, I am not ashamed I was raised by a single mother

Our fathers have failed

Our fathers are gone

Our mothers have tried

Our mothers have stood tall
