After a daunting migration
Strange daughter left
enduring lashes-her uncle's whip
what she felt
who would have known the profundity,
the bittersweet loss of integrity?
Working through inspiration
After a DAUNTING migration
A brave mother leaves
two daughters behind
the greatest heartache of all time
A greater heartache than a dead husband
left in the dirt the legend of his crime
made her stoic
working through inspiration
after a daunting migration
daughter number two
left behind with a mild flu
left further though
The mother did not want this one to migrate
but that sister she planned a different fate
Her great heart guided another to migrate
bittersweet
Working through inspiration
After a daunting migration
As she looks at her distant niece
from afar at a chain of Ross stores (dress for less)
she permeates a morose melancholy echoing
throughout the whole store
Her eyes drowned in pain bittersweet
she wonders what forgiving would restore?
But it is too late for this aunt to form a bond
Her mother's word was not bond
in turn daughter number two
spends too many years, bitter,
talking down to the first daughters
last daughter (the niece)
bittersweetness began to increase
Working through inspiration
After a daunting migration
disconnected
bittersweet, awful, discontented
remorse, regret, envy (envelopes daughter number two)
She should have never migrated (bitterness grows inside her)
divided she begins to find ways to humiliate
the guide that brought her over to migrate
Mother is ashes now
and divided the family's fate
the retreat to somehow
find freedom as of late
but forgiving never comes
walking, working, worrying through inspiration
after a daunting migration
walking through a painful way to gain inspiration
after a haunting migration
Apoco, que tantos años luchando por mi hija
ya no llorro porque me ha hecho fuerte
stoic
working through the realizations that bring inspiration
after a daunting migration
