Ode To Single Parents

Lord, are you trying to tell me something?

Being a single parent doesn't mean I'm a failure.
It does mean I've had some trials.

Being a single parent doesn't mean I think I know everything.
It does mean I'm learning something.

Being a single parent doesn't mean I have been a fool.
It does mean I've had enough heart to love.

Being a single parent doesn't mean I've been disgraced.
It does mean I dared to try.

Being a single parent doesn't mean I don't have it.
It does mean I have to do something in different way.

Being a single parent doesn't mean I am inferior.
It does mean I am human.

Being a single parent doesn't mean I've waste my life.
It does mean I have an excuse to start over again.

Being a single parent doesn't mean I should give up.
It does mean I must try harder.

Being a single parent doesn't mean I'll never make it.
It does mean I need more patience.

Being a single parent doesn't mean God has abandoned me.
It does mean He must have something better for me in mind.

This goes to all single parent that are
trying to raise their kids on their own.
