Hero's don't cry
But tears dropped down her eyes
When she saw her son Not among them whom worn the 👑 crown,
She lives to see him wear the crown
It was her childhood dream,
Birthed from her childhood failures
All her dreams wrinkled in a minute
And her tears became unleavened
Because her son couldn't wait
He slept on before the day of glory
The crown was supposed to be his
He actually came out first.
The breath of the day became his last
Inspired by a true life story
