Crying....

Old ways set in, gray and worn,

Tired from the struggle that is life,

Good times never breaking the surface,

Again you cry, as you curl for goodnight.

Searching for that someone to ease the pain,

Yet there is no help like helping yourself,

No motivation there, you slip deeper still,

Again you cry, sitting alone again.

Your choice guiding your future as always,

Not taking the action, leading to the same ending.

Same place today as yesterday, what to do,

Again you cry, trying to figure it out.

An eye you catch, you work so hard,

Clean and fresh you are, best clothes worn,

Could this be the chance long awaited?

Again you cry, fears of failure always there.

In his arms you walk, smiles never ending,

Spirits lifted you imagine the future,

Everything that you could imagine, right here,

Again you cry, but now tears of joy……

Nation!!!

I like happy endings too. I've had my share of crying and have come to the conclusion that crying is for cryers and laughing is for laughers and when given the choice I'd much rather laugh. That is why I am always on the lookout for funny stuff. I always seek the silver linings of the clouds that loom over me. I'm an encourager by nature.

Crying makes my head hurt and gives me the racoon look. It distorts my face and turns it shades of red and pink. Crying doesn't make me feel better at all. Infact, it causes me to feel worse than before. I'm not saying everyone doesn't deserve a good cry sometimes, but laughing is always better.

So, woohoo to your happy ending and may your days be filled with laughter!
:-)

Great job!!

We have done a lot of crying and will do more; One day we may smile and have tears of Joy but now we cry we miss our son, our grandson. It has only been 5 weeks since he passed away we know he is in heaven with God and will see our little boy again but it hurts right now a lot and it is very raw for us.
