holding on for dear LIFE
as life on life terms presents itself
with much sad news
all i can do is work on myself
and my mental state
fragile it is
and aware i am
yet this brain just wonders
all the time
replace it with prayer
i hope for the sake of my grandchild
continue to hold on to my faith and hope
that
one day i can wake
and be surprised with some happy news
until then
hoping
Me

after much going on
she sits in the movie theater
while i make arrangements to get the uniforms
and accessories shoes, underwears, boots, raingear
and on
it wasn't enough
that i arranged to get my grandchild into the school
that Eva would get the best a school has t offer
i am certain she will be recognized for her gifts and talent
above and beyond
this all because i taught her what she knows
she understands addition and subtraction
i pray she will not be held back
as many times third generation in this country
and the children do not speak english
many latino parents feel it is the schools responsibility
to teach them the english language
why do i say this
personal experience
my youngest part latino
has many times been spoken to in hispanic
why
because of her beautiful skin color is mistaken and teachers
just assumed she spoke spanish
and we know when one assumes
you read right
not speak to her in Hungarian but spanish
infact a substitute teacher asked Corissa to do something
the teacher did not believe her
it took another hispanic student to tell the sub
she does not understand
so
here we go again

my daughter relaxing in the theater
after last evening
where is the help
where is she helping herself
so trying to keep it together
HOPE
i am hoping and praying
i can only do what i can do
