True Love

Her dedication to her loved ones and sense of responsibility consumed her youth and soul .

Her pure soul made her find a true love, full of giving and sacrificing , if happiness and joy were measured in drops she would give an entire ocean to her loved ones and keep non for her . 

But this love is slowly taking away the blossom from her face , devouring her energy and turning her honey brown eyes tired..

While she grows older by the day , struggling to make everyone around her happy , like a burning candle giving off warmth and light , I fear that one day loneliness and misery will be her only companions .

Is this world too cruel or is it every mother's destined doom ? 

Or maybe sometimes suffering is the only road to happiness ...
