I found a pretty flower, <br />food for bees and butterflies. <br />But when I gave it to my mom, <br />it put tears in Mommy's eyes. <br /> <br />Why are mommies like that? <br />Pretty things can make them cry <br />just like a very sad thing. <br />Some day, will I know why? <br /> <br />She said as we get older, <br />things don't all make sense... <br />but tears from pretty flowers <br />are most welcomed precious guests.<br /><br />C.J.
