Tears of love

They are not joyful ones

But, I believe

necessary.

They flow

along with my prayers,

for my offspring

some of whom

are

the prodigals.

The Father cries

He waits

He waits for the prodigals

He cries for them

Who wipes away His tears??

Finally
some
turn back
to Him

Tears in His eyes

He runs
to gather them up
in His arms

Now
His tears
have turned
to joy

after all
He is the Ultimate Parent

Truly
He knows
our grief
our pain
and our sorrow.....

The joy and sorrow of being a parent...not for the faint-hearted.

In warmth beneath the insulated drywall
I curse my gooey insides
for not being as solid
as the lamented linoleum
moreover, I wish I didn't need
to declare such trivialities but
I do
