Her Strength

She’s thirty-three

A mother of two and one on the way

For six months her husband’s been in jail

She visits him every chance she gets

And she doesn’t miss one of his calls

She’s doing the best she can on her own

And every free moment she gets

She spends it praying to the man above

She doesn’t know how much more she can take

So, she puts it all in his hands

Hoping her prayers are next on his list

And for the sake of them all

She’s got her strength

She’s now thirty-six
A mother of three

And for almost four years now

Her ex-husband’s been in prison

She no longer visits him

And she misses all his calls

She runs around forgetting the kids

She’s even forgotten who she is

She’s no longer doing her best

And every free moment she gets

She spends it sleeping off the night before

She doesn’t know how much more her kids can take

As they put her in the Lord’s hands

Hoping she won’t be the next to go

From this world and from their lives

And for the sake of her

They have her strength
