Singlehandedly



A mother of two is hard work to do.

Though I find joy and pleasure with them too.

I saw them everyday, and raised them to be

Good children and law abiding citizens for God and our country.



A mother's love helped sustain their childhood dreams.

Now they are grown-up, they have their own to dream.

Whatever road they tread, I hope they won't go awry.

In facing challenges unknown, may they find strength all the way.



A lone mother in the night, her tears fall silently.

In anguish, she hides her fears and weaknesses.

Her frail bones and frames they never see.

Singlehandedly, a mother is brave and strong to be.



They call me Mom, to others I'm Leah

I married late but I managed to conceive

A doting, overprotective mother, they sometimes hate.

Yet deep within their hearts, their love is burning like the glowing sun.



I stand for Love, Compassion and Strength

I also believe in honesty, modesty and simplicity.

Life is complex but the Love of God doesn't perplex

My outlook is to move on and see the sunny side of day.
