Don't Cry...

The following poem was inspired by the picture above of my niece Emily crying. "Aww" was literally my reaction when I saw the photo and I knew I had to write something down right away. My heart melts when I see my neices crying so this is what I felt when I looked at the picture.

Don't Cry

by Carol Spurlock

Little girl,
Please don't cry.
Everything
Will be alright.

Just lay your head
Down by my side.
I'll wipe away
All the tears tonight.
