There is nothing more gut-wrenching
Than a child who makes sacrifices for their parents.
She wants the world
But I can only give her this room
She wants to laugh
But I can only make her smile
She wants to live
But it’s all I can do to keep her alive.
I know he’s tired
And so, I play quietly to let him sleep
I know he’s trying
And so, I cherish everything he’s bought for me
I know he wants to give me the world
But this room, this smile, this life
It’s enough for me.
