About this poem:

I talk to a woman on the phone regularly for work and had never met.While in her office I had the pleasure of meeting her. I was actually taken aback. Her beauty was only over shadowed by the saddness in her eyes. The woman actually reeked of saddness to the point I had to fight the urge to whisper as if someone had just died. Funny how so often the eyes tell the story. (after talking awhile the woman was a strong woman who had more than her share of woes in life to contend with)
