A silent sacrifice

She wakes before dawn's early light, To tend the flames, to guide the night. Her children's needs, her heart's desire, A selfless love, a burning fire. She puts aside her own dreams and fears, To wipe away their tears. Her life, a tapestry of sacrifices made, For the ones she loves, her heart's not swayed. But in the shadows, she hides her pain, A suffering soul, a heart in chains. The weight of duty, the crush of might, A silent oppression, a endless fight. Her voice, a whisper, a gentle breeze, A quiet strength, a heart that freezes. Her story, untold, a hidden truth, A life of service, a youth. But still she rises, through every test, A warrior woman, a heart that's blessed. Though her path is fraught, her will is strong, A love that guides her, a heart that's not wrong. So let us honor, this silent soul, A woman of courage, a heart that's whole. May her sacrifices, not be in vain, May her love and strength, forever remain.
