Never Too Late For Tears

It’s never too late for tears
               Whether loss is sudden or expected
    Expression of sorrow knows no clock
                          The process of grief is subjective
No judgment to declare
        The first tear shed, even the last
Is our own to cry

Anne-Lise Andresen October 20, 2018 at 11:25 AM - So true, Mike :"Expression of sorrow knows no clock" ... the sorrow can come at any time - For example; after someone's death ... the sorrow can come a long time afterwards - a friend of mine lost his wife ... it went six months before he cried - let the tears come a great poem - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Mike Gentile October 20, 2018 at 2:27 PM Thank You, that is exactly what happened to me, I wondered why I did not/could not cry and then weeks later, the tears flowed. xxoo
