My Mother’s Sadness

I saw sadness in her eyes that I had never seen before.

A longing for something that was not there.

A lost dream of a time when life was pure,

Hopeful,

And joyful.

Now, it was gone.

Gone only to memory,

To a place that only she could visit.

A place that was no more

Nor in this life time.

I wanted to cry with her,

Comfort her pain,

Take it away from her,

But all I could do,

Was just be there

And wallow in the tears that were hidden from me.
