Beneath It

She smiles her 'sun shine smile'
Laughs till she is out of breath;
But beneath it, you can see the sadness.
She helps people,
Goes about her work;
But beneath it,
you can see she misses someone.
She cares for her friends,
Tries to make a difference;
But beneath it, she is longing for a kind word.
She maintains confidence,
Her head held high;
But beneath it, she seeks support.
