Today my husband left me
I’m alone
and I feel frightened
Today I went to work
leaving my babies at home
and I feel guilty
Today my boss yelled at me
but I can’t yell back
and I feel angry
Today my mother’s ill
I have no time for her
and I am worried
Today I couldn’t keep up
with all the demands on my time
and I’m exhausted
Today I needed you
my friend
to hold my hand
and let me cry
Tomorrow
when you need me
I will be there
for you.
