Sacrifice By Father
Sacrifice By Father
Toiling in anguish, every day till the grave.
Automaton conformity, synonymous for a slave.
Such a dutiful father makes a sacrifice of self.
Abandoning dreams puts happiness on shelf.
Calloused emotions hide tears, silent scar.
His love spans the distance of a bridge too far.
A sadness of heart echoes deep within soul.
Selfless love of my father has taken its toll.
The character of a man when laid in the ground
Reflects in the humility, his children have found.
