On the verge Upsetting brink So purely real when a little heart sinks A child’s cry...just about here Poor little guy, don’t hold your pout Go ahead and cry out loud! Sorrowful soul, just let it out! Burst your tears So all can hear For so lorn On the verge... On the verge... On the verge...of tears

OHHHHHHHHHHHH this is adorable and so is that picture poor lil thing.....
As a man I had been on the verge of tears so many times but held back because of society's belief that men dont cry. Now, I go beyond the verge but still with restraint - e.g. hide my face with a hand at the end of Wuthering Heights (Lawrence Olivier/ Merle Oberon version)
What a Tale is told in this delightful story of Didge the wayward little Roo.
Catch up with him as he turns the Billabong from a Dull everyday water hole, to a lively, fun place, through many adventures and conquests.
Peace & Love,
