The cold, sterile environment of the hospital room offered no comfort to Liam. His mother was ill, and he felt helpless. The book of poetry she had given him, a collection of classics, was his only solace. Inside, he found a folded note. It was a dedication, written from her to him, containing a handwritten poem about love, about resilience, about enduring even the hardest trials. He reread the words, the familiar ink, the sentiment. He felt his shoulders straighten, and he finally took a deep breath.
