I lay awake eyes overflowing
as my thoughts play a never-ending version
of the water cup challenge
one which there is no joy in

I'm tired!
tired of fighting for the right
to love and care for my children
tired of being strong I just want to give in

Surrender's not an option!
Not when I have finally found my soulmate
and no this is not a caption
she blessed me with my youngest child
my second chance restoring my life's passion!
