honor

by staywiththemoon

You must keep going.

Even with all the blood running down your face,

You recall the day

Your father set his hand on your shoulder and said,

“Darling, No matter what anyone tells you about

Stopping Or giving up

Don’t listen to them. You must keep going.”

Even with all your injuries, Even with the searing pain

You push the thought of giving up To the back of your mind And focus on one thing:

Honoring your father's wish.
