Crying

It brings me discomfort tosee people cry.

I never know how to react orrespond

To the steadfast emotion socommon to humans;

So deeply attached to thefrailties we share.

It's so unpredictable, solike the wind;

Cloudsladen with moisture

Thatburst at the seams.

One truly can neveranticipate

What may precipitate unwantedtears

To burst upon hearts with ajagged edge,

With a vengeance to tear outour dreams.

Sadness is all around everyday and

Tears are abundant to wash itfrom sight,

But tears alone never willtake it away;

Crying will not set thingsright.

So, we cry for our losses...

We cry for ourselves...

We cry for the pain that wemust endure.

We cry for the child whocannot understand.

We cry - because life isunsure....
