Their everything

When you have no energy to give, you give it.
Every ounce of you aches,
Every part of you breaks,
You give everything and more.

When you have no time to spare, you spare it.
Every job becomes bigger,
Every stress spreads wider,
You know what is important.

When you have no positivity to provide, you provide it.
Every smile is forced,
Every moment feels like a test,
Your love knows no limits.

When you have no patience left, you offer it.
Every reaction you try to control,
Everything else can wait,
You handle it.

When you hear their cry, you don’t ignore it.
Every emotion runs through you,
Every lost minute of rest doesn’t matter,
You rise again.

When you want a break, you don’t take it.
Every piece of you feels guilt,
Everyone else is more important,
You carry on.

When you are praised, you don’t believe it.
Every criticism you hold onto,
Every compliment is forgotten,
You doubt yourself.

When you see them smile, you don’t forget it.
Everything makes sense,
Every part of your being melts,
You are home.

When you have bad days, you should remember,
You are strong,
You are resilient,
You are everything.

When they don’t make it easy, don’t forget it,
They are innocent,
They are vulnerable,
They need everything.

When you doubt whether you are enough, don’t question it,
You give everything,
They take everything,
You are their everything.
