Framed Faces

Crying comes when I turn tender
for framed faces under glass caress-cleaned
while whimsical mind measures
shift sadly towards lonely longings
heart held for family.
Tears task their deaths to my well worth
with woeful sobs shaking grown grip.

A photo or a song can make those memories surface CayCay, but those who have gone before us live on in your heart. Tom🌹
