I endure this pain for you.

For you to have what I didn't.

To own something new.

To smile so bright.



You deserve more than I ever had.

More than the long nights crying and the days of fighting.

More than the belly rumbles and the heart full of spite.



I made a promise the day of your arrival.

To do it better.

To do it right.

You will not have to fight for survival.
