Cinderella Man

We carry the burden of the world
the minute we commit to turn ourselves
into parents
parents that would have to provide
the very basics in life for them
food, shelter, home, comfort and above all
love to make them a better person in life
it does not really matter
if our tummy rumbles like Russell Crowe
right before his fight in the ring
it does not matter
if we shed silent tears like Renee Zellweger
in the midst of a cold winter snow
seeing your children suffer from the chill
without a warm blanket
over their frail small bodies
but it does matter
if we stop to try our very best
to give them the best we could in life
for it is our sole responsibilities
to bear what is hard to bear
to endure what is difficult to endure
and to do what is the most challenging thing
to do
that is to be parents
A simply beautiful and remarkably
truthful film about life
indeed wonderful for me
to shed tears and to feel
for this is the essentials of
being parents
and you could only feel how I feel
if you are one yourself
