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.
