Raised By...
I was raised by
Men kickin'
Horrible cookin'
So bad you want to
Run away and hide
Kind of women.
Some crazy haired
So much people stop and stare
"Your hair doesn't matter"
Type of strong women.
Some thick thighs
Boot wearin', jean stylin'
Spur shaking, head nodding
Crazy cowgirls riding
Horse kickin' and buckin'
"Let's do it"
Kind of women.
Bull ridin', horse catchin'
Dirt flyin', but keep on goin'
Kind of women.
I was raised by
Some two steppin', line dancin'
Country listenin'
Kind of cowgirls.
Some face slappin', butt kickin'
Hands on hips
"Mess with me, I dare ya"
Kind of strong women.
Some strong women raised me.

This piece was about the people who raised me. Since my dad is not in the picture, my mother had to raise four kids by herself. By watching her do that, it made me so impressed by her. She truly is a strong women, and she raised me to be one as well.
