A Heart To Soft

She cries on the early morning
she cries on the soft evening hue
a sad thought can bring a tear
being to soft was her biggest fear.

The birth of someone new
the death of a friend or two
tears easily run down the cheek
then solitude she seeks

Kind and passionate 
she was always that way
did not take much to make her cry
a soft heart was the reason why.

Hi Andrea yes it is very strange times and our government seems to be doing stupid things. We are about to go into another temporary shut down. No one for Christmas yet 4 can go to a restaurant. Small stores on 50% and large stores 25% after Christmas. Nothing seems to jive here and makes me frustrated at some of the choices. Merry Christmas to you and your family. love phyl

Hello Phyllis ... nothing wrong with being emotional at all. If it's in our makeup there is not much we can do about it. As long as some don't take advantage of kindness offered - thanks Phyllis - Lindsay
