Quiet cooperation, unspoken resilience
Postponed dreams, maturity beyond years
Patience practiced in silence
Added responsibility on the small shoulders
Severe challenges and hardships,
But their response, “Everything’s going to be fine”
“This sacrifice will pay off” and one day,
“Our life is going to shine”
Bravery of growing up faster than their age
Hearts that carried more than their share
Your light never dimmed even in the dark
My little munchkins, you grew up so fast
Did I have a choice? No!
I had to keep going
For your sake
And for mine
They will never understand
The bitter sweet feeling I always had
When I look back and grieve
For their carefree days of childhood that slipped away
Expensive toys
that couldn’t be bought
Few treats
And the innocence was lost
But I also marvel at the grace
Of watching them grow into wiser souls
Missing the simple joys of childhood
And characters like a trophy they hold
Now when they stand tall
Their sacrifices become their wings
It was not for survival only
They turned into pillars of strength and wisdom
The world only highlight
The sacrifice parents make
And often ignore
The compromises those little hearts make
‘Iron Lady’
People called me
You are an inspiration
They told me
I refuse to wear that cape
Knowing how much effort you made
I just chose to be on this journey
But ONLY YOUR sacrifices lit the way
So my darlings!
You are my courage, my light, and my spark.
Let the world see and heavens applaud
You are my forever heroes from God
