Today I Met a Lady....



I saw a lady today. W her baby under the rain in midgets and cold and if you had to pay her off for the day,5 thousand will be an extra thousands more than her efforts from morning to night. The baby is so innocent he has to feed.he also must be in the farm there is no sitter in her world. Just her two hands and her prayers.A conversation starts off about millions and she will smile and express others riches,there is a look in her eyes of distance,a land she can't reach,a place she  can't get to. Millions to her are in real only in her dreams
But she is smiling she is humbled maybe more by her situation than she will like to be but a girl has to fight,a mother has to come home before sun.she has been standing there for more 3 hours on a lonely road with her constantly interchanging positions one on the other and she is mouthing "abeg". Hoping the next driver is kinder than the one before him/her.
. I met a lady today with a Baby in the rain. I met a possible version of me of you today,i met a reason to be grateful i saw a reason to pray.
