Looking through old pictures

she was beautiful.
dark hair and enchanting eyes,
an open smile.
who was this woman 
holding a small infant, my brother,
her upturned collar, too busy to 
notice and to smooth it down onto
her shoulder, she's a mystery to me,
this woman now approaching 90,
I never knew that open face
now it is too late to ever
hope.
