Dried Tears

dried tears

I want to see 
the face of God
look down and smile. 
his tears abated
after they dried 
in Louisiana.  the 
kindness 
brought a smile.

I'm up early this morning as my husband had to have blood work done, he doesn't like that, and I'm here to comfort him. So he wants me to comment on his friends poetry this morning. he said, "I love this Patricia! It is short but very elaborate in what it was trying to say. A very good reference to Louisiana, awesome my friend. This poem brought me a smile, and I really enjoyed having it read to me this morning. What a stupendous piece, great work." I liked the reference to God, thanks, Emma :)

Good morning Emma and Russell. Just a little thought I had late last night. Thank you for commenting. Buck up Russell time is a great healer.

Touching verses good for meditation. Beyond the clouds there is the sun. Tears and smiles - the rain of this summer. All is good from God. Pope Paul II and Max Scheler agreed and it is explained both love (Corintheni 13 , I think) and that God let us have troubles in order to activate our solidarity, mercy, deep simphaty, empathy, piety and good deeds. Best regards and wishes.
