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?
