What brings forth tears? Today it was being touched by kindness. I was overwhelmed, and the tears came forth. And then I remember a day in May many years ago when tears were unleashed …
One Day “I hope you enjoyed your day.” She said it with such tenderness That it utterly broke my heart And the tears came forth As I thought of the tiny lifeless form Of the May fly and its brief day. Why is it only now that I weep? Why has the sorrow of the world And the heartache of my friends Touched me so little? As I cry and cry, Please, God, tell me why.
