Some days for one reason or another those tears do fall, IE. I thank God it is not very often though. I like to be as cheerful as I can be most of the time. Your visits encourage me. Sara

Great wordsmithing! The title portends something different and you’ve stolen the show by seasoning it with Christianity. Love the decomposition enriching the earth for mankind’s feasting of his heart and soul. A fave, dear one!
