My tears I hide

Hidden tears when you wake, of gratitude to God.

Hidden tears as I place the brace, and assist you up to walk.

Hidden tears as I place those pills, out for you to take.

Hidden tears while you shower, praying you keep your dignity.

Hidden tears as you hold on to me, while going up and down the stairs.

Hidden tears when I hand to you your hemi-cane, and follow close by.

Hidden tears, as you can never be left alone.

Hidden tears when your disability check comes, you are to young for this.

Hidden tears when others do not understand, this roller coaster ride.

Hidden tears when you can not see, what is so plain to me.

Hidden tears for all the loss, and pains you face.

Hidden tears as you sleep, I fear you may not wake.

Hidden tears, that I get to have hidden tears.
