Oh Jan, this makes me want to cry too. Beautiful and yet so sad. So glad it's just "fictional". Congrats on your placement in the contest .

Your first line captured my attention; how can tears fall without diluting the pain? Good luck in the contest! Aloha! Rico

I am so glad this is fictional Jan. Losing a child at any age embeds the worst kind of pain. Beautifully poignant and should do wonderfully in the contest. xxoo

Thanks Pixie, I'm not active on soup at the moment but had to enter this contest as I wanted to show Greg (and many others here) that I am not just a humourist and that I can write serious poems too:-) hugs Jan xx
