Separation
Eileen Goldberg 1950 (Brooklyn)
A sad little face, saying wipe your
tears.
Mama is gone and Gma’s not
here.
There’s no kids to play with
it’s sad but it’s true.
It’s just me and Mommy
who’s broken in two.
The life I was born to was
suddenly changed.
The people I turned to
all re-arranged.
I’m not even three yet,
I can’t understand,
how can this be so far from
all that was planned.
