A Strong Mother

It started out as a normal night

I was with my kids, all was right

We were watching a movie enjoying ourselves

Unaware this night was going to hell

They were falling asleep so I tucked them to bed

And gave them a kiss goodnight on each of there heads

I proceeded to the kitchen to grab a late night snack

I put the stove on and made myself soup that I found from the shack 

As I wait for the soup to be done

Someone breaks into my house and I quickly run

I run to the my room, grab my children and hide

I must do all that I can to make sure my children don't die

They begin to panic and start to cry

But I cover their mouths and tell them all is going to be fine

I hear the criminal's footsteps, he's still far from where we lie

I quickly grab my phone, call 911 and yell COME QUICK WE'RE GOING TO DIE!

They trace the call and say they're on the way

Hearing that made me more confident about seeing another day

The criminal starts breaking everything in sight

I hope he doesn't find us before the cops come and fight

But the worst is about to come, I hear footsteps coming up the stairs

I tell my children to turn around so they don't make eye contact and glare

He reaches the top floor and begins to search for us

To protect my children from danger is a must

The cops still have not shown up so I begin to worry just a bit

Because if he finds us, I'm scared to say that this is it

He enters the room and breaks everything in sight

My children panic but again I tell them, its gonna be alright

He searches around, trying to find where we reside

But so far it looks like he has no idea where we hide

But painfully, I was wrong, he grabbed my leg and dragged me out

I hit him, punched him, kicked him, while I screamed and shout

He was not fazed by my hits, he grabbed me and threw me to the ground

I made eye contact with my kids and told them to stay silent and turn around

He started to beat me until I couldn't move no more

I was stuck, covered in blood lying on the floor

As I was going unconscious I heard the sirens outside my home

A bit of relief hit me knowing my kids weren't going to be alone

But the worst became even more worse, he grabbed me and used me as a shield

He wen't outside my home and said "If you come anywhere near me I'll beat her until she can't feel"

Nearing the point of blacking out I thought I was going to die

But thats when I saw a bullet come right pass my eye

It hit the criminal dead on his head

I fell to the ground with him, but the only difference was

I was alive and he was dead

The cops rushed to me and quickly called an ambulance

As they knew I couldn't get up and hold myself in a stance

My kids ran to my arms and gave me such a bolt of heavenly light

Before I went away I told them all was going to be alright
