When I look into their faces..
Their first question to me “Why?”
If your head hurts this bad..
“Mommy will you die?”
Can we play a game..
Or “please read me a book.”
And then their smiles fade…
When I give them That Look…
Yes, I have another migraine…
And I feel their excitement drain…
Will our happy little family…
Ever be the same?
