Mother and Daughter
Daughter expressing how she feels
(Yes I raise them both to keep it real)
Through my life I've seen stuff grown-ups haven't
Seen
Been through ups and downs
Yet I'm only a teen
It all started on October 20th
Back in the 1990's
When my momma had me
The doctor told her she was having another
She now has a baby & a toddler
It was good didn't want for nothing
But things got bad and we started struggling
Left our home in Arkansas and moved to Florida
Money wasn't long no more it started getting shorter
& shorter
To the point now we are struggling
I'll never forget the 1st day I seen my momma cry
Deep down I was so hurt I felt like I wanted to die came home momma crying eviction notice in her Hand
Then go to my sister’s room
To see my sister head down crying and praying
I was young but I wasn't dumb so I started praying
Too
I prayed to God that he would help us stay together
And make it through
From then hotel to hotel was our house
Because we stayed getting put out every time we were doing straight
Something always went bad
It got to the point we lost everything we had
Storage auctioned all of our stuff
I think that's when my momma decided she had enough
It got so bad my sister thought about hustling
That's when my momma decided
Florida wasn't for us
We got the things that we did have and moved to GA
Now my momma is an Author telling our story
She has SEVERAL books out
To possibly help another family not go down that route
Real Talk: What Others Are Afraid To Say....
Mother Speaking back to Daughters
We have been though a lot
To give up on either one of you I absolutely will not
We lived in a hotel for about a year
Every day was a struggle
But me not being able to take care of you girls
Was my worst fear
There were days I cried all night long
Did things I knew were wrong
Did things I didn't want to do
You were my children and by all means I was going to take care of you
I had to make sure wherever we laid our head
It was safe and felt like a home
Through struggles test and trial you get a backbone
I'm not proud of some of the things I had to do
I'd do it all over again with no regrets just to take care of the two of you
60 a day for us to have a place to stay
It's was times I didn't have that to pay
But my God always made a way
You were never on the streets
Always had food to eat
I kept you in the latest fashions
Even when the struggles started to happen
I'm not proud of some of the things you had to endure
You guys have had the best of both worlds
That’s for sure
Through it all we remain together
It was just a test we had to weather
You're my girls
Not to mention my whole world
We have had some good days
Bad ones too but through it all
Always remember your Mother Loves you
