I cried me a river many times.
Mostly for my children.
The daughter I wanted protected.
For my son with big ideas,
stranger whose world collapsed.
After my brother and a few friends died
knowing their role in my life,
I cried me another river.
Some said pray and I did,
questioned God’s sovereignty
‘n cried me another river.
When I asked for change
life remained the same.
I wished I kept my struggle hidden.
decided to not ask again.
But cried a few rivers.
