Ana Espinola Collins Poet Free verse

I Sacrifice

I sacrifice my happiness for my children
my mother, father, sisters and brothers
and sadly enough, to the one I give my soul.

I have chosen this path I live and now must endure
But I don't expect sympathy, but rather respect
For I live without regret
To know my loved ones have been spared.

Arthur Vaso April 20, 2014 at 5:40 PM Such a beautiful write, I am starting to realize Canadians are the greatest poets in the world!!!! :) I might add, for all you do, it will not be sympathy, but love you receive in return, sometimes it takes time for others to express and be thankful for all you have done!!!! Happy Easter!!! Ana Espinola Collins April 20, 2014 at 6:16 PM Thank you Arthur and beautiful addition... Happy Easter to you too :) Ana
