What Must Be Done

David Hernandez

In the month of Christmas,
I built the tree and set it with lights.
It needs ornaments of different colors,
besides red and green, and a star for the top.

No presents under a tree,
in an empty house with a foreclosure,
I cannot rely on anyone's help.

I've been given duties to fulfill,
which require a mother but I don't want one.
I must learn to grow,
changes keep occurring
and I keep feeling pressured.
The children have no one
to count on at all.
