[hometext] => Meant to be followed up with more story but havent yet....
[bodytext] => There once was a boy That didn’t know why. The question he asked was “Why can’t I cry?” He asked around town He asked far and wide. But no matter whom he asked They always replied: “We don’t knw why you can’t cry. Go ask your mom and dad. They usually know the answer When a problem is had.” So he asked mom and dad And they showed their love. His mom and dad knew the answer, Well sort of. “The question you ask Is not easy you see For understanding the answer Is no guarantee.” They said that as a baby, The doctors had found That when he was injured He made not a sound When poked or prodded He made not a cry. His parents said Concluding with a sigh. “The doctors had said ‘There isn’t much to say Your child can’t cry Not today or any other day.’ ‘But why can’t he cry?’ His parents did ask To this the doctors Showed them a flask ‘This flask contains Your child’s last tears This is a thing That we haven’t seen in all our years.’ “And so we’ve kept this flask In a safe place. It’s up in the attic In a small yellow case. The doctors did say That you had simply run out ‘But how could that happen!’ We did shout “How could I run out They’re just tears? And how come I haven’t been told All of these years?” You had run out of tears But we didn’t know why, The doctors weren’t sure either And so we didn’t know why you couldn’t cry. And so you’ve lived your life Without sorrow or despair. And until you asked us, You didn’t seem to care. The boy didn’t understand But his parents said with a shout “When you get older You will find out!” With this, this part of the story Has come to a finish Without the rest of the story The overall theme does diminish. This story is sad That much I know as true Just be careful that It does not happen to you.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
