she was many things
loving wife. doting mother.
the very best sister.
what they didn’t know
she cried. felt worthless.
second guessed her choices.
yet still, on the outside, she smiled.

Love the external way people perceived us, versus what's really happening inside ~ Still its important to smile, I agree ~

ReplyDeleteBeautifully told from me too. Often we do not know that sadness hides behind a smile.

ReplyDeleteI think that describes so many people. Wonderful insight into humanity!
ReplyDeleteHow so noble and many may not know it. There are people who sacrifice for others! Very true Arcadia!
