Ode to Single Mothers: You Are True Winners

The jury has deliberated.

I can confidently say

That you are winners,

Because of the things you do each day.

You juggle jobs, kids, and friendships,

Showing your love for others.

It’s no jest that you are queens,

The kindest people and great mothers.

Rugby practice and piano lessons,

You are constantly on the go.

Though you must get tired,

You focus on helping your kids to grow.

You aren’t perfect and don’t try to be,

Sometimes you burn the toast.

Single mothers, this poem is for you,

Who do the work without a boast.
