Through a separation I think we all forget to see it through a child's eye's, I tried to feel what my kids are going threw

Why Is Mommy Crying

by Steven Solis

I watch as mommy cries sitting there all alone
When she falls asleep she cuddles to the phone
I ask why all the tears, why all the sorrow
I then hug her, tell her dad will be back tomorrow
I must say something wrong, she cries even more
Everything I say I make the tears pour
Maybe I don't hug her enough, maybe love I lack
Maybe she's right - daddy is never coming back
