Latchkey kid not!!!!

Latchkey kid that wasn't me

You needed a house 🏠 to have a key 🗝️

Always somebody home 🏠 no need for that

Too many of us to own a dog 🐕 or a cat 🐈 talking about hand me downs we had it bad

You got what you got sometimes it was sad

Your sisters shirt 🎽 and your brothers shoes

You had to wear it even though you were blue

Moving a lot so many places several schools and hundreds of faces

Are you moving or going to the dump is what they say

To my brothers and sisters it seemed like a regular day

No matter the struggle Mom kepted us Fed

At the end of the night we all shared a bed

Tortillas beans potatoes and Red ♥️ chilie 

Hit the spot when the nights were chilly

Our house 🏠 was always full,full of love 💕

Thanks to the great Lord up above 💘

In reality to me the past I don't remember much 

But Mom had the heart ❤️ and that gentle touch

So no need the necessity of a key 🔐

At home I knew my mom would be
