Mothers' Legacy

He strived for stripes and stars
a bath of blood became his reward
all is not lost with him no more
spilled blood of his family knows no woe.

Like a tree, family branches spread thick and wide
just as the trunk, they stand together in stride 
the support helps branches dare to dream,
bear fruit, and flowers, and healthy leaves.

They dream together and aim for the sky
when a branch falls down, the dream stays alive
just like the roots, a mother keeps her family grounded
she is the core, her legacy keeps generations bounded.
