Parched throat,

Blistered palms,

Just so, my siblings and I could look fine.

Blue boat,

Fried yam,

They went hungry just to satisfy our appetite.

Gave us coats,

And thick clothes,

Yet they went to work in the cold.

Weary face,

Every day,

Your sacrifices are so much, I’ll take you place.

Mom and Dad,

I pray to the most High,

To keep you safe and fine,

We will travel round the world and fly up in the skies.

Sacrifice
