What Makes You Cry



What makes you cry?
Could it be geese crossing the sky in a V on a cold winter night-
Mulberries, raspberries, or memories of your Grandmother’s cherry pie-
Seeing the fingers of a baby at rest-
The breeze coming through the trees on a warm summer night-
A rose mixed with magnolia in pink glass vase-
Or might it be memories of our wedding and my face-
 as we came together at last-the eternal embrace-
What makes you cry?
