Tears Dry Hard

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

So glad to see a new one from you. And it was worth the wait. Such power and emotion in a few lines.

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.

SO glad to see you back writing again Donna; you have been sorely missed...I've been out of the loop awhile myself... This gem is short and to the point yet LOADED with insight and wisdom and what a last line! God bless you my friend - Tim
