A Mothers Sarrow

She woke up and took in a deep breath 
Her heart was heavy and her eyes of a charcol black 
She had been crying all night waiting to hear a child's cry 
Her ears were open and her heart slowly braking as she wasted another day waiting and waiting 
 
The sky turned dark as she layed in bed 
Her heart still heavy , her eyes still black 
She is still waiting to her a childs cry 
Slowly she falls asleep , dreaming about her babies 
She finally got to hold them but when it was time to come back to reality …
  
She never took in another deep breath 
Her eyes never opened 
Her skin pail as the piece of paper she wrote her good bye note 
Her ears were closed and her heart was not beating 
She never heard the childrens cryes .
