Life, inevitably ends in tears

In sadness we cry, but isn't that what we do too when our hearts overflow with happiness it cannot be contained. When hurting we cry, but we cry harder when all our hopes and all our dreams loses those shadows and ultimately become ours. In falling we cry, though sometimes not for bruises but for shame of our clumsiness and when ultimately they heal we cry harder. In remembering we cry, both for the lapses of faith and sensibilities as well as for those people unwavering, always there and we cry harder for being alive. And when everything ends, whether we have lived for others or lived for ourselves we will cry harder for those we've had and lost and for those we've lost and never had.

Twenty-eight Years and Counting

  I don't know if I saw a light When first I came into this world I don't know if I heard the sound Of my mother crying because I'm here But what I do know is this I'm glad that I am here I didn't know how I came into this world Though now, yes I do know as everyone does I didn't know how I got my name My mother told me it was an aunt's gift But what I did know was this I was born and I was loved I didn't know where I would go When I took those first steps away from my mother's arms I didn't know how fast I would run Nor how many times I would fall But I do know that I need not fear Because there are hands always ready to pull me up I didn't know how long it would take To grow up and be a woman I didn't know what it would take To be a daughter, a friend and a lover But what I do know is this It takes courage to be all of the above I don't know how long I could stay And be with the people I love I don&#
