Why do you think the poet did not share her thoughts with her mother?

Dear Student,

The poet felt the familiar ache of childhood when separated from her mother but restricted herself from expressing her emotions  and sharing her thoughts with her mother because she didn't want her mother to feel the same way about separating and wanted to leave her with a calm closure rather than with a turmoil of emotions which would have made the situation worse. So she maintained a smile and waved goodbye, with the hope of seeing her again.

Regards
