some unseen hand of cruel fate
tainting her deeds of sacrificial love
loaves of home baked bread
turned to stones
cups of cold water
taste lukewarm
soft melodic words
ring sarcasm in dull ears
toiling from sunrise till darkest night
only to bring others delight
never taking time for her dreams
unuttered cries and silent screams

dedicated to those who labour for Jesus and others and hope their sacrifices are not futile
