Just because it always makes me cry ...

This song reminds me of being seventeen and waking up early on sunday mornings to watch Breakfast at Tiffany's. This song reminds me of my huckleberry friends, each and every one of them locked up in my still beating locket heart. This song reminds me of days of heartbreak and trying to wash the blues away with hot chocolates. This song reminds me of when I was a newlywed and feeling such happiness that water would fall from my eyes. This song reminds me of late late nights with a newborn laying on my chest where it felt like nothing else mattered but that very moment ... for a time at least. This song reminds me that I am a crier and always will be. This song has seen me through and will bear witness to much, much more. This song I hope, will remind my boys that I loved to have a cry, when I am no longer around to tell them myself. I hope they will think of me and raise a smile and have some vague memory of the times their mother sang this melody to soothe and comfort them ...
