Our Tableau

OUR TABLEAU

A tableau of us,
you and me, smiling. 
My smile hiding pain
being near you, yet
so far, our strangeness.
Wish knew yours, Mama!

Thank you, Sam. It is very sad, we saw, felt and knew it, our family and others saw it. I asked her why and I never got an answer and will never get one for she passed on two months ago.
