244 Why do we cry II

Posted on February 10, 2016 by Ken Greenman

Somehow, the infant knows,
and tells us with his tears,
that he has lost his peaceful place
when he was forced to join the human race.
So, we cry when a baby is born,
because we share his sorrow.
We all know we will feel the same
when we wake tommorrow.
That thought echos in us, more often
than we like to admit:
The next time we’ll feel
like we felt in the womb,
is laying asleep in our coffin.
