she cries
and my mind spills
upon the keyboard (&her heart)
she cries
and I feel my head exploding
like the exaggerated way
they do in the movies
peace nowhere
(at least not for now)
but my serenity will come
eventually
in the meantime
she cries
relentlessly
endlessly
passionately
loudly (very loudly)
oh how she cries
Author notes
yeah, I have three kids, 1, 2, and 10 and my daughter (the one year old) feels it is her obligation to keep up the tear quota...
but I sure love her...

Oh boy. I could never deal with children. I'm alright baby sitting but I couldn't manage if I couldn't give them back!
Thank you

I have a 2 yr old who never cries, well its rare anyway, we even took her in thinking that maybe she had that condition where they don't feel pain but they just said she was a tough one and not to worry right now.....HOWEVER!!!!!, we have our 3 yr old niece from Friday thru Tues and that girl can cry buckets over nothing!!!! So I guess I feel your pain here too!!!
