Watch momma place an arm
reluctantly
into her coat
chilly outside she says
we know she'll be away all night
with the waitress job
has to do it since dad is sick
means food on the table
when the paycheck arrives
end of the week
five children and husband
depending on her
saw tears close her eyes
have to go she says
kisses her little darlings then we look
at each other
me the oldest and wanting to cry
don't go momma
she has to
and I know she needs one more hug.

Human agony, necessity and love..heart breaking sir...kids know only love and grief untouched and it should remain untouched...well crafted pain and grief with the tinge of love..fantastic
