All through the years,
Bones was always aware,
that when he was around Mom,
very often she would be just watching,
and even staring at him.  

When she was ready to die,
Bones was at her side.  

Mom took Bones face in her hands,
looked him in the eye,
and said
“You’re a beautiful man.”  

Bones said thanks,
started to cry,
and left the room.  

He knew Mom
was an expert
on such things.

It takes a real man
to know how
to cry.

God blesses Bones.
