My Mom

My mother,
Wanting us to be happy,
Trynna keep us happy,
Depsite all the hardships and sufferings
She's been thru & she's going thru...
Is telling me to be happy: "Son, smile!
Why don't you ever smile?"
And then, she would smile...
To show me how;
And it was the
Saddest and most heartbreaking
Smile I've ever seen...
