Single Moms...

Paula A. Tomey-Allen

Single moms can have

A special way,

Of getting their family

Through the day.

From the time they hit

The alarm by their bed,

‘til the last freckled face

is kissed on the head.

Through the course of their day

They’ll wear different hats,

From doctor to lawyer

To a chaser of cats.

With one can of tuna

They’ll stretch to feed six,

And still have leftovers

For the next night to fix.

They strive to teach children

What’s wrong or what’s right,

And will pace the floor

‘til their home safe at night.

Of all the callings

That come from above,

“Mom” or “Mr. Mom”

also means love.
