I watch, from the sidelines, with you unaware,
of how much it is that I take in
As I stand here, stop, and stare.....
As day to day now passes by with time ever going on,
I realise how much it takes from you,
in your efforts to stay strong....
From then, to now, to what's to come, no matter what is asked,
you'll find within, the strength you need,
to complete every single task....
With smiles, and grins, and cheery hugs, you chase away any fear
with confirmation that you're "grand",
but what I see isn't what we hear...
To you, I say truly, with your life's path I do sympathise
Because between each smile,
I see there's a tear in your eyes.
Author notes
Promt #4.] Between Each smile [Theres a tear in your eyes]
Dedicated to my sister Aileen. I do see so much more than you know. I know you're suffering more than you tell us, trying to shield us from your pain, knowing that we feel so helpless as we watch how fatigued & ill you get from this terrible cancer, knowing we can't do anything to help. But, we're not blind, and we're not as trusting of you as you think ;-) And I know your word isn't always what you mean. 
I love you so much, please please get better 
... still not finished. i'll come back tomorrow and edit.
