WHY  TEARS?

I still haven’t cried at my mother’s death -
a hit and run accident - way back on
April 7, 1987…. Why? Why? Why?

I cry at movies - like The Natural and
It’s a Wonderful Life, Dr. Zhivago and
songs like,  “If I Had a Hammer.”

I cried at my father’s, my brother’s
my nephew’s, my sister’s death,
but I still haven’t cried at my mother’s

Why?
Why?
Why?
