Love's Resilience

Whispers of the past linger in my mind

Echoes of loss, but I still find time

To stand tall, through the storm and the rain

Love's the legacy I hope to explain

Mama wasn’t always there, shadows in the night

Daddy's absence left me searching for the light

Barefoot on the pavement, dreams hard to hold

Growing up too fast, stories left untold

But I carry their echoes, not their pain

Swore I'd break the cycle, not remain the same

For my children, I build a stronger ground

In their eyes, a hope I’ve found

Even when I want to fall and hide away

I remember love will guide my way

Rising from the ashes, I’ll stand tall

Lifting my blood, answering love’s call

Now that I have kids, I do better every day

Guide them with the light I wish I had on the way

Through the darkness, I choose to shine

Creating peace, one moment at a time

Pain may linger, but love rewrites the story

In their smiles, I find my glory

Breaking chains, starting anew

Teaching them what love can do

Even when I want to fall and hide away

I remember love will guide my way

Rising from the ashes, I’ll stand tall

Lifting my blood, answering love’s call

When the world feels heavy and I can’t breathe

Their laughter is the air I need

Holding on to hope, I won’t surrender

Every scar, a reminder of my endurance

Mama wasn’t always there, but love is always near

In my children’s hearts, I have no fear

Stronger now, I carry on, I hold on tight

Love’s the lantern glowing through the night
