Poem
TAKE OUR TEARS AWAY::(WITH AUDIO) To Pat.. The lady with the Challenges Hear this poem in the author's voice ** river, flowing river gather up our tears to swell your banks on either side and then flow gently in the mist * as soft twilight overtakes the day and sends the world to sleep make our thoughtful woeful tears ripple into laughter *** **** ** ** **** ***
By Mollie
