As he held her tightly she fought back the flow of tears and she bit her lower lip when he said "I love you dear." With every touch of his hand she wanted to pull away the question to be answered where had he been all day? After a few days passed by he asked "What was wrong with she?" and when she finally spoke she said "Did not my tears you see?" He said "I never saw your tears, I didn't know that you had cried." Slowly a tear rolled down her face "Sometimes tears are cried... inside." 11-22-01 On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. |

I really loved this. Sometimes it is difficult for us to tell our loved ones why we are hurting, but tolerance and understanding can overcome any amount of pain. I really enjoyed the write. *SMILE* "I am nae poet, in a sense; |

Oh Gentle Spirit ... this was so tender and beautifully composed. What a lovely phrase you've ended this piece with ... so very true. This is a gentle reminder to look beyond and see within. Much enjoyed! Best wishes, /Kit |

Dear Somy~ smile...it's a beautiful day..you have beautiful ways, inside and out. And no one makes my ~somy cry, without a dot in the eye!!! If I could I would. There is great pain when the inside rains. I'm here. Love and Hugs! Sincerely, Regina |

There is so much truth to this. Sometimes the tears cannot be seen, but you'd think that if they truly knew you they would surely see them. So sad! All writing comes |

Gentle Spirit - so gentle you write of the tears hidden inside. Yes, they do hide there at times, but I wonder why they do not look, and see them... BC |

That they are indeed and it takes a conscious effort to remove the blinders and see with the heart to actually notice them sometimes. Beautifully expressed and the flow is wonderful. Very much enjoyed as always. |

How true, sometimes we cry on the inside, and can't understand how the other person can't see those tears. You've written it very well here. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
