Tears To My Eyes Poem by Richard Wlodarski

Tears To My Eyes

Rating: 5.0


She was chopping onions
The same day that she died
Tears had filled her eyes
From her food for thought

She cut her slender finger
Blood oozing...remembering
Memories of sad childhood
Years drenched in such loneliness

How can onions
Bring such tears?
And bittersweet memories
Carry lost and new-found joy?
