Heavy Heart.

Seldom has he been around to watch us grow,

Stolen away by a need to make the home whole.

The long face of mother

tells us how she long for him,

Her eye reveals thoughts of how she misses him

A Heavy heart she carrys,

Yet she hides it with a smile.

She trys her best to become both,

Days without him makes the light in her dim.

Many a night I catch her cry,

Her tears socking the bedsheets,

Praying for his safe return.
