For her
Life had always been tough
Responsibility rested on her tender shoulders
But that wasn't a deterrent
It was her strength
That drove her on
She had a dream
And she worked towards it
Putting in hours of hard work
And ultimately achieved it
As time moved on
She fell in love
Soon had two beautiful children
The family was perfect
Happy
Like standing at the top of a mountain
But then came the fall
All she could hope was to survive
Survive for everything she was blessed with
It was not easy
Yet, she took up the challenge
And survived
It was her strength
That drove her on
As life moved on
So did she
Along with her family
She worked her way up the mountain
Each took different paths
Rocky, risky, frightening, dark
The glimpse of the summit was near
But it din't feel like much of an achievement this time
More like a waterfall at the end of a river
While water currents pushed you over the edge
The ride wasn't steady
And the fall was horrible
But they floated back up
She floated back up
And that was all that mattered to the family
She was their heartbeat
Their lifeline
It was her strength
That drove her on
And climbing onto their boat
They sailed through a surreal forest
Occasionally stumbling upon rainbows
Winds hit them hard
Once the sea emerged
The ride wasn't steady
It rained one day
And the sun shined on the next
Everyone was trying to adjust
Hold up and be there for one another
The clouds soon grew dense
And they were now witnessing a storm
Hands on
She was at the centre of it
It was her strength
That gave others the strength
Inspiring and instilling admiration
Supported by her loved ones
They plunged into the rage of the sea
Anticipation gripped them
As they waited for everything to unfold
Looking ahead
They tried to find the light at the end of the tunnel...
