I will not Quit til my Breath is Gone

Hummm,

They say that the eyes are the window to the soul

Can you look into my eyes and see the many stories that should be told.

How about the will and determination that makes me a warrior,

How I turn heads and make people say "Look at her!"

There's a story of pain and heartache, love and joy, struggle and strife

For each lesson that helped me to rebuild and construct my life



Cause,

I will not quit til my breath is gone



Knowing when things go wrong and start to crumble

Learning these lessons of life to make me spiritually successful and humble.

Remembering how time after time falling for men who didn't even know how to love themselves

So they couldn't love me or no one else

Realizing that I am my children's first playmate, best friend, confidant, role model, spiritual advisor and teacher

And its up to me, mommy, to give them support and ambition to want to look inside themselves and dig deeper.

For the bit of knowledge that the real prize in this life and existence.

To allow spirituality and wisdom be your resistance



Cause,

I will not quit til my breath is gone



How about being told again and again

"I am sorry, you don't have enough experienced" or

"Thank you, but, you are over qualified"

Constantly being turned away from jobs as me and my family dare to survive.

But these eyes now show a glow of success

and oh

let me tell you the joy of entrepreneurship its the best.

To have been given an opportunity to create a legacy

Something positive for all the children to carry on for me.

Once I'm done my journey here and my time is no more

To be a driving force in our history just as those that came before.
