Reflections of My Perceptions
S I N G L E M O T H E R
somehow she see to it that he has it better
whether she must walk that extra mile or give that extra effort
rather than to see him settle for the lesser
she'll forsake her indulgence before denying his pleasure
no she can't promise he will be bright and clever
but he can count on her to help with his numbers and letters
from to check to check she hangs on by a tether
just not to see him have to do with whatever
she'd love to adorn herself in fine ostrich feather
but it warms her heart to see him in a plain old sweater
lazy? by no means, she's a go-getter
but she gives what she receives so he can hold his head up
and even on those days when she's tired and fed up
she somehow finds a smile to hide all her pressure
and she seeks nothing more from he whom she treasures
but to know through all they'll be together
whether she must walk that extra mile or give that extra effort
rather than to see him settle for the lesser
she'll forsake her indulgence before denying his pleasure
no she can't promise he will be bright and clever
but he can count on her to help with his numbers and letters
from to check to check she hangs on by a tether
just not to see him have to do with whatever
she'd love to adorn herself in fine ostrich feather
but it warms her heart to see him in a plain old sweater
lazy? by no means, she's a go-getter
but she gives what she receives so he can hold his head up
and even on those days when she's tired and fed up
she somehow finds a smile to hide all her pressure
and she seeks nothing more from he whom she treasures
but to know through all they'll be together
