The context of the above lines is the mother’s recollection of her childhood days and the poet’s recollection of her mother’s laughing face.

The poet’s mother has fond memories of her past, she felt pain whenever she saw the old photograph because the innocent childhood days would never be back. Those are just the memories. While the poet has lost her mother twelve years ago and she misses her laughter and her presence that will never return to her.

Both of them lost something. Thus, both remember their past with a laugh that conceals their sadness, as none can re-live those lost moments,
