2 Know Me

this moment?
i cry with tears in eye's
because i spy
a man with two children
and a baby
i don't know why 
i cry
kids are trouble
and they grow up

I cry when I don't even know why. I have a soft heart and tears come to easy. I cry for people I don't even know. I even cry when I sing a sad song or watch a sad movie. Silly me. God Bless Phyl

When I see young families, I often feel sad knowing how much I missed in not raising children. Kids are not always trouble when "they grow up." Some turn around and provide care for their parents, just as you have, dear friend. You certainly have my admiration for all you do to help your father. God bless you! Love, Carolyn
