Mothers find their happiness in seeing Others happy. Is this good or wise? To hang one's happiness upon a being, However loved, who sees through other eyes? Even as such love may be a burden, Remember well what lies behind the curtain, Singing down through angel-freighted skies. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
