When heart is full, words are few

God never promised a life without pain,
Laughter without tears or sun without rain.
But He did promise strength for the day,
Comfort for the tears and the light for the way,
And for all who believe In His Heaven above
He rewards their faith In His everlasting love. - Author Unknown

After reading Mindi's thread crying I was just thinking at what times I cried in life. Though I could not recollect but I know I have cried many times and as I grew I stopped cried for silly things, which when I was young did not feel silly and after growing up and especially after sixty my tears got dried and when sad my heart becomes heavy, sometimes I am not able to talk or express my feelings.

I had good times and bad times in my life. Whether good or bad I share with my friends, while in school I used to share with my best friend who always gave a shoulder to cry and helped me . While working I used to share with my colleagues who were close to me. And now after retirement I share my joys and sorrows here.

I am not used to hugging anyone, even my children might be because it is not in practice in our family. I remember my younger daughter is a very loving kid, very soft spoken and while sleeping she will tell me amma katti pidichuko. My children would love to sleep by the side of me and my poor son used to give up for his sisters. My two daughters used to sleep one to my left and one to my right and my son separately.

Tears are how our heart speaks when our lips cannot describe how much we have been hurt

I feel touched and speechless when someone says something good about me and appreciates me and my heart becomes heavy though tears dont come out. When I am very happy or very sad both times the heart speaks. I am not able to put it in words how I feel that time

A hug is something that goes a long way in saying the unsaid but even that is not possible when children are far away and we come to know when they are in pain. So a few broken words, painful sighs & then some mild reassurances through the phone ; [words were few as heart was full..] The only thing we can do at that time is pray to God to comfort them in ways which I can

Don't keep your dreams in your eyes, they may fall as tears. Keep them in your heart so that every heartbeat may remind you to convert them into REALITY.

Sabita dear glad you liked the poem. Thanks for your comforting words and I am touched to know that you cant see me sad for a long time. Yes dear once I let out my feelings it goes from my heart and I am back to normal. More normal when I get inspiration in the form of sweet fb from you all. Thanks to Jey and Malathy for this wonderful site, otherwise I would not have been such a lively person
