Circumstances
Inconvenient
As always
I wasn't there
As you buried
Your mother
Desperately
Wanting to be
By your side
During this most
Difficult time
In your life
Cold and rainy
Gray and gloomy
Saturday
Did you hide your
Tears and cry on
The inside
Or did you let
Them slip down and
Wet your cheeks
Hoping they'd be
Camouflaged by
Drops of rain
Having made all
Arrangements as
Required
Responsible
You - the strong one
To the end
