Tears Dry Hard

Tears leave no stain
Unlike blood
Can be wiped away
Then no longer remain
Unless understood

Love you, MD. So glad to read you again. Yes...Caleb went through a hard time. I'm glad you wrote about that to show your sympathy. Tears are a Language God Understands. That's the name of a song that speaks to what you have written. Sending you hugs.
