Moving On

The past is painful, but my future is bright
And I know we will make it through
My children give me the strength to fight
And to my own self be true


The road is long, and it will be tough
But we will show it we are tougher
Because you haven’t seen strong and independent
Until you have gone toe to toe with a single mother


I will bring home the bacon, and fry it up too
I will clean up the messes, I will kiss the boo-boos
I will laugh when they laugh, hold them when they cry
I will help them say their prayers and tuck them in at night.


And one day far from now
My heart will open up again
I will find a man that makes us feel good
And I will let him in


He will become a part of our lives
And us a part of his
He will be there to offer the man’s point of view
And show us what love really is
