“Stepping up “

chana

Awake past midnight 

my room is gaining heat 

candles every corner 

light switch with no power 

be careful in the shower

mourning mother in her bedroom

No money to deposit 

young daughter 

about to bloom

Pulls out her purse

tears as her hard work goes to pay

for the house they can’t afford to stay.
