I like this poem, Lyn. The message here is that you need to hide your pain for fear of upsetting the ones you love, and believe in your ability to carry on, if only for the sake of your family.
When i read poem by you i always find a certain way that really shown me poetric signature in your work...and like other works, this one is also soooo nice and so goood to read :)

tears and hugs for you my friend. I well know about holding back the tears. Hiding the pain. Smiling although inside you are dying. Healing others when you cannot heal yourself. I wish I could bring a smile to your face and laughter to your heart. My prayers for you every single day.
Having pain, tear and suffering also many of us smile whole day after having trust on self. Forever climbing a mountain they hold back the make up of successful hopes. Very nice and finely drafted sharing. Wisely penned.10
Very inspiring poem to keep going and not give up. Wonderful poem dear Lyn.
