The Good Stuff That Will Bring Tears To Your Eyes And Hope To Your Heart... Poem by Confusion Undastood

I cried…
Today I cried, tears spilling down my face,
Droplets of water just running down,
The kind you shed when your heart aches,
My heart, though, did not ache because I was hurt,
It ached because of the joy I felt reading poems,
Anecdotes, short stories and quotes of humans giving each other love.

I cried…
“Daddy how much do you make an hour, ” the little boy asked,
Furious at his son he did not want to respond
Finally her replied, $50
Ok, Can I borrow $25 the boy asked his eyes pleading,
His father thinking it would be wasted on trinkets scolded his son,
Finally calming down he gave his son the cash
Then he saw him turn and lift his pillow spilling out his stash,
Furious again was the father at his son,
Sorry he had given in, he demanded why was he so selfish,
His son replied with tears in his eyes,
all I want is an hour at dinner with you…

I cried…
A boy and a girl as happy as could be were madly in love,
And so he made her a gift of 1000 paper maches,
One day, out of the blue, she told him she was going away
never coming back and so disappeared without a trace.
The boy heartbroken worked hard for years and was soon successful,
Driving down the street one day, he saw the girl’s parents,
And proceeded to drive slowly so they could see he well he had done for himself.
Noticing they were walking towards the cemetery,
He was curious to see who they would visit thus, followed slowly behind.
He walked up to the grave and saw it was the girl he loved,
All this time he was mad and bitter thinking she had found someone else
Only to discover she was ill and died from cancer,
Wanting him to be all he could, that was the reason why she “disappeared.”

I cried…
So many things I saw and was deeply touched,
Like that boy who worked so hard and still didn’t have much
But still shorted his meal to leave a tip to a waitress who didn’t think much of him.
Even my own stating, 'in the corners of my mind at times I see us presently gliding into future events, quite happily,
I, suddenly, I, feel like proclaiming my love,
to scream it loud on mountain tops!
With kisses potent, eyes telling a story only expressed in motion,
I love you was expressed fluidly…
Mirror images we are, with a few balancing acts as you pace and I relax
You know me as much as you know yourself'…
I shed so many tears as I realized no matter how empty
Chaotic, drama-filled, heartbreaking, depressing and discouraging my life seemed
I was loved, I had loved, I am loved, I love and will love again.
I hope you feel the same too…
