My Son’s Tears It’s been a while but I remember him crying . . . like it was yesterday – so hard, I wouldn’t even have heard God, if he had spoken. And He didn’t, not to me, not to my son, whose soul lay draped over my shoulder, curled in my lap. I remember, and though I held the tears back, then, said parent things to him, I can’t anymore . . . so I cry, so loud God has to hear, He has to know, I miss even my son’s tears. No consolation . . . no easing . . . just remember it like it was yesterday – my son’s . . . tears. © wesley james beard, jr. April 2008 ...not about me |

The tears we shed for our children, are tears that sting like no other. I deeply felt this ink spill from your heart.  Linda |

Strange. This does not bring back memories of my son's tears. Only my own. Joyce |

It so brings those feelings to the surface that, I suppose, will never fade; I am without words except to say, it cries out to me Pepper |
