There is a Thin Line Between Tears of Sorrow and Tears of Joy
I remember when my mother passed away. After the tears from the initial shock, our family sat in the living room and shared memories. We talked about her love and compassion toward others, the lessons she taught us about honesty, and how she taught us the importance of respecting ourselves and others. Then we started sharing memories that made us smile and eventually, each of us began to relax and tell stories that made us laugh.

Thought I commented! Love this, Kayleigh! Succinctly put, Ms Fraser dropping truth bombs in this one! Well done!
Truths be Told-♥️💯👌💬
So many people talk about what parents should teach their daughters but forget their sons. This is such a valuable lesson and easy to teach! Even easier to follow, thanks for sharing!
Great message in a poem!❤️
I just don't know what part of NO is so difficult for them to understand. It's just so annoying! Loved your poem!
I felt this in my life on so many occasions and you just want to scream these words! So well written! 🥲
So much I could say about this piece. There are so many layers to the male/female dynamic and how words and actions are interprested. An excellent plea, poem, letter!
I’m not sure why it’s so hard for some of us men to comprehend. No doesn’t mean she/he/they are playing hard to get and secretly wants to be pursued. It means STOP!!! Great poem and message!
Thank you for this 🫶 can I just emphasize that maybe doesn’t mean yes 😭
Totally. It is the end, not the beginning, of a conversation <3 xx
Very direct. So true.
Great poem.
