Too frequent … too many
these tears from the eyes
of the innocent child
that within me resides~

Burrowed deep today
in yesterdays’ disguise
of things that happened
before these young eyes~

Trying so hard to figure out
Why
Why the voices still shout
But I’ve no answer to the why~

Childhood in tatters
tears need release
the tears of innocence
that will not cease~

I beg the plentiful God,
if He will …
take these tears
these tears
these tears of innocence
that cry me still~


~This one is for a very Special ~K
with much love and understanding~



~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost,
the spirit rejoices over what it has left.
- Sufi epigram <))><

Such a heartfelt piece Marge..
Full of understanding and compassion.
Your friend is fortunate to know you.
Heart Hugs to you both~

Now while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again.

Hug on the way!  Yes, the "W" word...Why...
So many children ask that question over and
over...and continue to ask into and through
adulthood...I know it well...I asked why
for almost 50 years...Now I understand,  and
such peace feels so wonderful...

A beautiful and touching piece of your own
heart has been given to us today...and I
shall hold it softly,  never allowing it
to be dropped, cracked or bruised.......

Wow! What a super heartfelt write Marge!

This is a real open hearted but intense ending...

"I beg the plentiful God,
if He will …
take these tears
these tears
these tears of innocence
that cry me still~"
