Saudade :: Cinqtroisdecala Rhyme
It's a Portuguese word for yearning for family member;
uncertain whether they would return as winner or loser.
It's a deep emotional state of melancholic longing
for loved, who may or may not return to home that one talking.
History says, this word used first in 15th Century when
Portuguese ships sailed to overseas for trade routes with their men
or to establish overseas empire, sadness prevailed then
for those leaving sailors in their journey for the unknown centre.
Some never returned; those stayed back ashore suffered from feeling
of sadness, longing for the presence of those loved (sailors) men.
