To End Their Suffering

I knew that my children would sufferT

            on the long journey

But

It would only be for a few days

And

It would end their suffering.

*

If

We stayed in our country

Yes

The suffering would never end.

*

We left on January 5, 2016.

We arrived January 11, 2016.

*

We experienced cold.

Yes

On the pretty roads

But

Already we are okay.

*

In the big scope

            I want my children to have a happy life.

A better future

            Not like mine was.

I don’t mean that they need to have

            a lot of amenities

But

With whatever they have that

            they will be happy.
