Hope

 

mommy im hungry 

and she replied sweetie i don't have any money

mommy i need this outfit 

and she replied sweetie i don't have it

and i knew it burned her inside too tell me no

i knew blessings would come our way they was just moving way too slow

and i felt like things was always low

when would my joy come 

when would the storm be done

because i just wanted to stop seeing my mommy cry those wet tears 

she had been crying them for years 

which made me wonder why did God place me here

i seemed to only be a burden 

a heavy rock placed on my mother's back 

that seemed to only push her further down

not cutting her any slack

and mommy i was hungry 

i was hungry for a way out for us 

money

money seemed to be the only way out but also it was what got us here

because we ain't have none

we ain't have faith either..

until one day i got on my knees

and decided to believe 

because hope was the only thing i had left

i was out of ideas 

and i was once told you could turn too him for anything 

no matter the damage you foster within

so i prayed 

she prayed too 

and my mother came home a week later with a raise and a promotion too 

and we cried 

look what he can do..

thank you God.
