Behind the mask she hid her tears, worries, and sorrows.

For through years she felt the need to hide her fears, worries, and doubts.

She masked her sorrow and grief for a mother the world didn't allow her to keep.

Age is but a number as times continues forth it seems.

But for her to of but lose her mother put her in sorrowful thoughts.

Wondering what ifs and what nots
Pondering long hours looking at the clock.
