A Silent Promise
Location
I'll work hard, Mom
to buy you a house
a house you would always admire
when flipping through house catalogs
but could never afford
I'll work hard, Dad
to fill you with peace
so all the times people looked down on you
and treated you like an ox
you can truly smile
I'll work hard for the both of you
so you won't have to do anything for me
more than you already do.
