Answer:
1. The phrase, ‘familiar ache’ means a pain or fear that the poet has had at a point of time. It is the emotional pain the poet feels due to the realisation that her mother was growing old and pale.
2. The poet’s childhood fear was that her mother would get old and die and she would lose her mother and thus be separated from her.
3. The first two lines reveal that the poet loves her mother dearly and so she has many insecurities in regard to her mother.
4) The 'smile' on the poetess face exhibits the helplessness that she is undergoing. she fails to express her fear or love in words to her mother. She only manages to smile helplessly.
