Dear Toni

Dear Toni:

Your life has brought many of roads
You played the roll of mom and pop
When no one else would help with the loads
Prayin with the Lord every chance you got
Raising a child is not a one person roll
And now your back
On your own two feet
And with no second to slack
Workin while she's at school
Now thats a tough act
I say may God Bless your days
And your friends are here
So if you go a daze
Just hit one of us up
And we'll be right there

A contest entry

Take care Toni

    A beautiful dedication! I have 12 younger siblings and when my parents were going through their "alcohol" phase, I played mom, while working all nite, attending school all day, and playing mom and dad at the age of 16/17. She sounds like a strong woman! Lovely job.

    ing like no one's watching,

    Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!

    How sweet this was for you to write this to me!!! I will start my new job on Wednesday, March 19th. I am still workingat a daycare which I have been full time and some {around 60 hours a week for two years now}SO the overtime is very nice, but they were taking it all away so Ifelt it was time to change to something more quiet. SO that Thursday morning two weeks ago I was showering and I asked God to please send me the perfect job and to let me know it was from him. So later that morning around 10:00a.m., the phone rang and it was a job offer from a friend!!! So ther you have it...Thanks agin for such kind words to me I really appreciate them alot!!!~~Toni~~
