Handkerchief.......



When we are born we cry, our parents cry,
our friends cry....... Tears are blessings.
As infants, we learn to cry.
As a child, we begin to understand
the meanings of our tears.
We learn limits, we learn the power of our cries.
As we mature into adolescence and adulthood,
we learn more of what our tears are about
through our physical and emotional experiences.
We are forever needing to learn
and understand our sadness.
When life ends, there are more tears.
Let these tears fall, these water our soul.
No one wishes for tears.
May you use this for your eyes...for all the tears I cry.
I will probably never see your cries with my eyes.
I do pray that you will only use this for
happy blessings.......I love you,
More than you can or will ever imagine, feel or know.
