sacrifices

Sacrifices
We make it many times
In the course of our lives
Living to the future

The parents will
Forgo luxuries for a while
Save the money
The children's educational needs

The family bonding
Work comes foremost
Leaving the family
Spending by quality hours

The children will
Forgo family bonding
In books and examinations
Leaving out the growing up years

Tuition to ace examinations
Throughout the day before bedtime
The rote studying to excel
The building up years leaving behind

Wives and husbands
Boyfriends and girlfriends
Mistresses and gigolos
Everyone makes sacrifices

Even God too
Letting us to make our choices
Let us live in the good and bad
In the Covenant made ages ago

Sacrifices sometimes good
Sometimes it turns ungrateful
The children and friends and relatives
The future is still a sacrifice to make
