You will find her alone
Mostly away from the
crowd
Trying to mend the broken
hearts
Of her hurt children
Picking up the pieces
left by wounded grown-ups
In the background
She feels safe
No funny looks
No bad vibes
No married women that think
she is on a mission
to break up their homes
She is a single mother
Or a “single” married mother
Not by choice….but she
steps up
With Papa by her side, she
can conquer the world
She fights her own demons
away from all eyes
Puts her “I have it all together”
mask on in front of her children
Protects them with her whole life
Sick
Tired
Scared
Broke
She is always on duty
Her love and support their world
Changing roles instantly
comes naturally to her
A mom
A driver
A teacher
A nurse
To more advanced roles
She can handle them all
Away from all eyes
Father is mending her broken heart
Little by little He restores
her children
As she leans completely
into Papa
He leads her to His waters
of perfect rest
Sometimes the road is dark
Her load heavy to carry
Her emotions running wild,
but she is learning to rule in
deep waters
Holy Spirit is mentoring
her to raise children who are emotionally healthy
Perfectionism is out by the door
Her children needs a mother
that loves them unconditionally
A mother who is present
Who celebrates their growth
Loves and guides them through
their mistakes
She dedicated her children
to the best Father
Together He guides and
leads her to raise them
As she goes through her
processes, so do they
Together they heal
Together they take back what
the enemy meant for their harm
Collecting the spoils left by
past generations
Every generational curse
under their feet
Father knitted her together
in her mothers womb
Everything she would need
He deposited in her
Though she started out
alone and scared
He walked her through
every season
Calmed every storm within her
Holy Spirit was truly her Helper
Her Teacher
Her best Friend
She is raising children with
high morals and values
Children who put Jesus first
To the world she is just a
single mom
With her ponytail
Worn clothes
Face without make up
To her children she is their
safe place
Their oasis of love
Their super hero
A representative of Christ
She laughs at the days to come
She knows the One intimately
who holds her families lives in
His hand!
