Mama, Don't Cry
Mama, Don’t Cry
Mama, why are
you crying?
I can’t hear the
teardrops soaking
into your pillow,
but I can hear your
little hiccups, as
you try to be quiet.
Are you sad, Mama,
because you couldn’t
buy me bread?
Or are you hungry, too?
Do you feel bad because
the gas went off
and we are cold?
Don’t worry, Mama.
Something good
will happen tomorrow.
I know it will.
Don’t cry, Mama.
