Food bank trip

She walks down the road

To shop at the food bank,

So little money to get by on

The bank offers relief,

And gives hope

From the desperation,

She feels so bad

Her kids go without

She feels such a failure,

She tries so hard to provide

It’s like a daily fight for life,

You can see the pain

Deep within her eyes,

She feels the desperation

Of giving her kids a good life,

Everyday is the same story

She’s made to feel so lowly,

But I am in awe of this woman

I don’t see her as below me,

She’s stronger than stronger

And she is tougher than tough,

And in her heart

I feel her emotions

Rooted in unconditional love.
