Hey, I am thinking of you today. It’s a heart ache that;
When your peers worry about sweets you worry about food for the family
When they run off to go & play you rush home to cook & clean
Your friends have dolls to take care of while you have your parent & siblings to feed and bathe
Excelling in school is your ultimate goal but the circumstances fight against you, instead of studying you have something to worry about, you sacrifice your time for your loved ones because life has not given you much choice.
You compromise your dreams and pray God makes a way.
I am sorry for the parent you lost and however way that you found yourself being the adult in the household. I am sorry for the child in you that life suffocated.
Dear child, do not give up on your dreams. Grab any opportunity and make your desires known. Knock on every door, nag that social welfare officer, your teachers and that stranger who seem to care—no formality in your request, just know how to say ‘please I need help.’
Someone is out there with a possible solution for you.
I have no doubt that it is hard but time moves, it moves towards the end of your sorrow, it moves towards attainment of your dreams, it moves towards your success, One day your hardships will be history, keep moving and keep trying.
Dear child #youmatter
❤️love always
Kelly
