My Two Cars

My Two Cars The end of the week I feel weak and meek I struggle to survive Burdened, wish I could die Christmas is near I am in fear With only eight fifty left after rent Never more wisely have I been forced and spent The dollar store There they were Two hot wheels cars and only one dollar each One more dollar for wrapping, and a fiver left for food My eyes laden with sadness The future looked bleak As I hugged little Adam Daycare over, I took him from the Madame Now with five dollars, in my purse I bought some Mac and cheese A candy and apple Some juice and small snacks On Christmas I woke My son at my bed Santa came he shouted, “momma”, he really came!! So up we went peeking under the tree Two Hot wheel cars wrapped neat as could be He unwrapped them with smiles He shouted with glee Santa got all this just for me!!! I know nothing of Cars A single mum in struggles When I saw my boys’ eyes light up Tears began to bubble

Reminded me of my childhood, when my parents struggled similarly. A very moving but sweet write, Aurore, and more importantly, full of love. Viv x

The words are bubbly and full of life and bravado. The message is clear and meaningful to both heart and soul. The words are gentle and the hurt is real...leaving a feeling of calm acceptance of life's struggles, yet speaks of the determination needed to rise above it. Emile.

Aurore, :) Congratulations on your awesome win. ""You showed me yours-- now's my turn to show you mine --- LADIES"" Stop by my latest blog if you'd like. I have no poem to share under this topic. In which you wrote bravely. I'd like to share photos of my BUDDY (car).......... Always & Forever ~LINDA~
