Light Behind The Pain

Mom, your face is gentle but your words are firm,

Every piece of advice, with love hidden within.

You fed me before my feet could walk,

Though tired, your smile never faded from your face.

Yet behind you, there are voices of hate,

Even from your siblings, judging without a break.

They mock your looks and body’s form,

But you stay silent, patient, strong through the storm.

Mom, I can never repay your sacrifice,

Nine months you carried me, with love in your eyes.

You’re the most patient, the strongest of all,

I’m grateful you’re here, always ready when I call.

Mom and Dad, here I stand today,

Thanks to your love that never fades away.

Even if the world doesn’t see your worth,

I’m proud, you’re the dearest to my heart on this earth.

Dad, your face is firm but your heart is soft,

Your love is hidden in silence, never shown aloft.

Even when others judge your honesty,

You stay strong, for your kids and family.

Since you were twelve, you carried a heavy load,

Learning to survive, sacrificing on life’s road.

Didn’t continue school, though your grades shone bright,

Just to help your mother, to take your father’s place in the fight.

Dad, you’re a man who never grew tired,

Your painful past didn’t hold back what you desired.

You’re the loyal son, the brother who gives,

I’m proud, you’re the best father that ever lives.

Mom and Dad, here I stand today,

Thanks to your love that never fades away.

Even if the world doesn’t see your worth,

I’m proud, you’re the dearest to my heart on this earth.

My gratitude is endless, you’re always by my side,

Guiding me, giving hope, a safe place to confide.

In this world, many lack what I have here,

I’m fortunate, our family remains sincere.

Mom and Dad, here I stand today,

Thanks to your love that never fades away.

Even if the world doesn’t see your worth,

I’m proud, you’re the dearest to my heart on this earth.

Mom and Dad, you’re the stars in my sky,

No one else could ever take your place, no matter how they try.

In this world and in the hereafter too,

You’re the best, always in my heart, so true.
