Have you found the book, "The Shack?" I know you will love it, if you haven't. My daughter in law brought it on their trip from Oklahoma City for a visit, and I read it in two days. Will change the way you see God...

I can't count the number of times I've tried to put this teardrop on paper. Good luck in the contest.
Sincerely,

Ah, tis a fine write, indeed, just as it is. I like the form you chose for this one. Thanks for sharing it with us. -
Both poem and
teardrop impress me and take me into feeling. Glad you also wrote about 'joy' - I am going to try to live according to its dynamics this year. I need some discoveries, but afraid at the same time! Lovies. Frans

I do think you've given melancholy new meaning. At first one would think "how can one be sad yet ache with a tear of joy?" And yet, it makes every bit of sense. Only you Myra can see the essence of what others miss and give it life.
A most enjoyable read. Good luck in the contest.
much love and light to you

This is so pretty! It's amazing how you penned such a loving emotion in so few words. This poem looks like it should be framed and hung on a wall.
Love,
