Sometimes the tears, they come
and I truly don't know why
even amidst a happy day
its ruination they seem to try.

Just some thoughts enter in my head
about my Mother having not been here
it seems her hand lays on my shoulder
to calm my sorrow and wash away my tears.

Fight with all my will, Oh God how I do try
but I can't make them go away
they cover the blue skies above
and I'm held in sadness for the day.

Sometimes the tears, they come
no, I truly just don't know why
I just wish that I could understand
why some days it seems I'm meant to cry....



Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal.

some days are just meant to be washed with tears and nothing can stop the flow. But how refreshed we can be in the aftermath.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

This happens to me too, when I think about my brother. He died when he was only 26 years old. And, I don't know why, but for some reason, I have been thinking about him alot lately. I miss him so much.

If tears are meant to help us cleanse
ourselves of our pain....then I should
be free of pain in my life...for I have
never been ashamed to cry...

HUGS...

Donna, I know what you mean for I have those days too...when I think about my sister and what she's going through, and I miss her so much...see...now I need a dry shoulder...it's that easy, and I do understand.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Donna, this made me cry reading this too because I too cry a lot because while I'm happier than ever, there is still so much I want that is so far from me, like my girl Joanna who I love so so much and I would feel heartbroken if I never got to see her! (kiss on cheek) My thoughts are with you, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Very good, Sometime the only way we can cope
with being lonely or hurt are through our tears. The lines they leave on our faces are like roads to our heart. Bless You.

I often have days such as this, my friend.  However, being a man, the tears don't flow as quickly, yet the hurt is still every bit as real.  My mother and father are both gone and there's not a day goes by that I don't miss each one of them dearly.  My best to you.  BIG (((hugs)))
