Singlehandedly
A mother of two is hard work to do.
Though I find joy and pleasure with them too.
I saw them everyday, and raised them to be
Good children and law abiding citizens for God and our country.
A mother's love helped sustain their childhood dreams.
Now they are grown-up, they have their own to dream.
Whatever road they tread, I hope they won't go awry.
In facing challenges unknown, may they find strength all the way.
A lone mother in the night, her tears fall silently.
In anguish, she hides her fears and weaknesses.
Her frail bones and frames they never see.
Singlehandedly, a mother is brave and strong to be.
They call me Mom, to others I'm Leah
I married late but I managed to conceive
A doting, overprotective mother, they sometimes hate.
Yet deep within their hearts, their love is burning like the glowing sun.
I stand for Love, Compassion and Strength
I also believe in honesty, modesty and simplicity.
Life is complex but the Love of God doesn't perplex
My outlook is to move on and see the sunny side of day.
