I tuck my toes <br />Into the sheets <br />Lay my cheek <br />On my pillow <br />As tears dropp down <br />You catch them <br />With your tiny fingers <br />Small little palms <br />You press to my face <br />Wiping away my <br />Tears and pain <br />Big little eyes <br />You try to gauge <br />My anguish <br />Small little body <br />You press against mine <br />As if to absorb <br />All my pain <br />Small arms go around <br />My wet neck <br />Tiny voice assures me <br />He will be good <br />To make me smile <br />And he loves me <br />That is the reason <br />Why I should not cry.<br /><br />Reshma Ramesh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-i-should-not-cry/
