I happen to be a very sentimental person and I am sure anyone who has read my poetry has probably noticed that. I am one of those people that would cry because I love someone so much and have no way of really showing it, I'm sure I prove it by the things I say and do for those I love, my husband, family and close friends but I tend to put my heart out to many strangers in need of an ear or a shoulder to cry on themselves. There are times when I wonder how my husband puts up with me because of it. I guess when I feel I am going to explode because of all the love within my heart, my way of releasing it is to cry.I look into the faces of our grandchildren and I melt at the beauty and love that fills their hearts. There are times when they catch a tear in the corner of my eye that I try to hide and they will ask,"why are you crying" and I simply tell them because I love them so much.

Do You Hear Me Crying

I can't seem to look at your face,
For the beauty that I see there,
Oh darling, I love you much,
It makes me cry real tears.

I can't write it down on paper,
But it's important for you to see,
Just how much I truly love you,
A piece of my heart to you from me.

I can't even draw you a picture,
For it wouldn't be that clear,
I need you to know I love you so, 
It's important to me dear.

Do you hear me crying in my room,
Before I turn out my light,
That's because I'm asking God above,
To protect you through the night.

I feel my heart is bursting,
Sometimes it hurts me dear,
Because there's just no way,
To show you how much I care.

You little ones so dear to me,
Oh how my heart do sigh,
I need you to understand the reasons,
Everytime  you hear me cry.
