The Weight Of The World Poem by Lamar Cole

The Weight Of The World



If she had just been a little older.
Before the weight of the world was put on her shoulder.
She had to quit school and work at a grocery store.
Because her family was so poor.
Her father was in prison.
And her mother was sick at death's door.
