Mama, I understand your many sleepless nights
When you sit and you think about Father
Or how you tried to be the perfect wife

You used to dress and fix your hair
Then you smiled through your tears
In the mirror you would stare
And say a prayer
Like, "I wish he said I'm beautiful
I wish it didn't hurt at all
I don't know how I got here
I was once the one who had his heart"

Until you had enough and you took that ring off
You took that ring off
So tired of the lies and trying, fighting, crying
Took that ring off
Oh, now the fun begins
Dust yourself off and you love again
You found a new man now you shine and you're fine
Like it's my time, you took that ring off

Mama (so sexy), you live and learn, that's just the way life goes
(Uh, you a killer, you a killer, killer)
Always know that you've got a daughter
That's so, so proud you took the high road
(You a killer, so sexy)

You used to dress and fix your hair
You'd always smile through your tears
In the mirror you would stare
And say a prayer
Like, "I wish he said I'm beautiful
I wish it didn't hurt at all
I don't know how I got here
I was once the one who had his heart"

And then you had enough and you took that ring off
You took that ring off
So tired of the lies and trying, fighting, crying
Took that ring off
Oh, now the fun begins
Dust yourself off and you love again
You found a new man now you shine and you're fine
Like it's my time, you took that ring off

After all your tears
After all that pain's all clear
Mama, after all them years
We can start all over again
Mama, and now it all makes sense
Letting go is never the end
Mama, we can love again
This is where freedom begins

Mama, so put your love on top
You gon' shine and put your love on top
It's your time to put your love on top
Everybody put your love on top
Aye, love on top
Aye, love on top
It's your time to put your love on top
Girl you so fine, put your love on top

Have u ever thought actually
What it would be like, without a family.

Family is the only one,
Where one experiences best of fun.
Family is an elegant necklace,
Whose bond may appear broken
But deep inside, their hearts are still one.

When the unwanted sorrows seem longer than a mile,
Your dear old family makes you smile.

When because of a mistake no event
Works out for your sake.
When life refuses to mend
There comes a sharp bend,
Family gives necessary amends,
To the family all worries can be sent.

In a fraction of time,
Your sorrows will leave
It may sound absurd
But you’ve got to believe.

Wherever you may be,
You belong to the pack.
And to them you can always go back

This poem relates to rose because it is about family. In the play, family plays a big part into roses beliefs and actions. This poem talks about how life would be different without a family, and how having this family is necessary. This relates to rose more because she wouldn't be who she was and act how she did without he family, not matter the circumstance.

Both Fences and A Raisin in The Sun have strong themes of family and money. In both of the plays, each family is struggling for money. While this is more see in Raisin in the sun, it is also seen within Fences. Family is also a big part within each play, both plays are about the struggles between the each family, whether it is financial or perhaps personal, like relationships and emotions.
In both plays, the fathers of the family, Troy and Walter have very similar qualities, while the rest of the family members vary. Another similar issue between both plays is the situations for black families. The fact that not many black people during this time had the job opportunities that many white people did. The best example of this is, is the types of jobs Troy and Walter have. Troy works for a garbage company hauling the garbing, and Walter works as a chauffeur.

Yes, I sympathize for Rose, she was a loving wife and mother. She gave her all into her family working hard to take care of and love them, but what she got back was betrayal. After all she had given, Troy still went out and had an affair with a younger woman. During this time period, women couldn't support themselves due to the lack of jobs available for them, meaning that she couldn't leave Troy. Even after all that, she still took in Troys daughter as her belief was that every child was Innocent and needed a family.
Strengths and weaknesses:  Rose has many strengths, she is a nurturing, loving mother. Her biggest weakness is her situation. In her situation as a black woman, she is stuck in her situation with troy. With the lack of jobs available for her, she wouldn't be able to support her self.
