Sometimes when I watch you play
Having so much fun
I realize that you do not notice
That you are often the only one

All the kids you play with
Are with their mom and dad
Many with brothers and sisters
Two things you do not have

Your daddy, he loves you
But he can’t be here
This isn’t his weekend
To be with you, my dear

So we go alone…
Christmas parties and such
We laugh and have fun
But the pain is too much

They have little stickers
For all the kids names
But they never know
Our last names aren’t the same

Some people, they stare
I’m used to that part
They think we are alone
But I know in my heart…

You have a wonderful daddy
You are the center of his life
We love you together
Even though I’m not his wife

You have a Nanny and Pop-Pop
Aunts and Uncles galore
Tons of cousins to play with
What kid could want more?

So if you see the people stare
Remember that you are the best
Because there is an entire village of people
Who love you and know you are blessed!

I enjoyed your poem and it's sweet sentiment.
I raised a daughter by myself, and know how you must be feeling.. it's great that you have family support. Keep up the good work.. Thunder

This is lovely, and very true for so many people now.  It is a complicated world we live in.

My dear sweet daughter, have I told you enough how proud I am of you? You are raising Talon so beautifully. He is such a dear sweet grandson. I admire your courage and your principles, most of all the beauty of your love for your son. Beautifully written poem as always. I love you,  Mom

Hello, and this is beautiful.  Never make an excuse for being a lone parent.  You are giving more love than a lot of 2 parent "families".  Enjoy the time you have together.  Love and hugs and happy holidays,
