I have a few friends who made the choice to be single parents and even though it is hard, they embrace it and of course, love their children fiercely. I'm not sure they would agree with your take on their lives, but I suspect they would recognise parts of themselves in your poem. Personally, I can't imagine anything harder than rearing a child or children alone!Maree Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16187502761963866468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25107798.post-22905811396718635902008-08-17T04:01:00.000-07:002008-08-17T04:01:00.000-07:00I know what you mean.

He felt his job was to earn our living and be on every committee in our small town, so he didn't spend time with the people who needed him most. <BR/>Well written.<BR/>Males eh!
