For My Parents Poem by Beena Jal

i have tried all so hard
i struggle to make it through
do you know why i strive
my parents; its for you

ya i want to conquer the stars
i want to reach the sun
but you gotta agree its kinda far
its one heck of a run

but if you just say once
beena* you gotta reach there
i will race up my pulse
and start without a fear

I'll jog up through the world
and fly through space
I'll glide like a bird
I'll try to win every race

with you on my side
your prayers right here
I'll take every ride
through the path I'll tear

I'll work all day and night
I'll try to get it done
I'll work during dark or bright
backwards I'll never turn

ya i will do this all
I'll try without a doubt
I'll get up if i fall
just to make you proud
