Dreams To Die For

She worked very hard

Till last every night

& stood stiff straight

Against every self-fight.

For time was hard

& destiny was low

With every new pain

She learned to grow.

She was just ten

When her father died

She remembered for sure

Those endless cries.

Often she wished

Her father would come

But gone are gone

They never return.

She grew up fast

Unlike many others

Though she was younger

Than her sisters-brothers.

She sacrificed her dreams

At an early age

& soon she was set

In the marriage cage

I know you must know

Now story for sure

There are no dreams

Worth dying for.
