She's a woman of integrity.
She has about 3 jobs.
Four, if you include taking care of her kids.
It took a lot of effort to do what she did.
She cooks, cleans, and works day in and day out.
If you stayed in her house, you'd know what she is about.
It takes very much of her to make this a happy home.
But what makes even stronger is that she does it on her own.
Bringing her daughter up the best way she can.
And teaching her son how to be a real man.
Respect, determination, and honesty is what this woman is all about.
So if you're not here to help her better herself then you can see yourself out.
She teaches her kids the reality and doesn't sugar-coat a thing.
Tells them that they've got to get a good education if they want the finer things.
She can be very blunt and it may seem like she is trying to hurt your feelings.
But what she tries to make you aware about is the cruel world and its dealings.
She also teaches her children to be realistic and have fun, so when the day is done,
I am extremely proud to call her MOM.
A Single Mother
A Special Lady
