    Nearly everything makes me cry. I cried because the Phillies won after 25 years.

    This poem makes me cry. I found it in a Chicken Soup for the Soul book and transcribed it. Here it is:

    A Prayer for Children

    by

    Ina J. Hughs

    We pray for children

    Who give us sticky kisses,

    Who hop on rocks and chase butterflies,

    Who stomp in puddles and ruin their math workbooks,

    Who can never find their shoes.

    And we pray for those

    Who stare at photographers from behind barbed wire,

    Who've never squeaked across the floor in new sneakers,

    Who've never "counted potatoes,"

    Who are born in places we wouldn't be caught dead,

    Who never go to the circus,

    Who live in an X-rated world.

    We pray for children

    Who bring us fistfuls of dandelions and sing off key

    Who have goldfish funerals, build card table forts

    Who slurp their cereal on purpose

    Who put gum in their hair, put sugar in their milk

    Who spit toothepaste all over the sink

    Who hug us for no reason, who bless us each night.

    And we pray for those

    Who never get dessert,

    Who watch their parents watch them die,

    Who have no safe blanket to drag behind,

    Who can't find any bread to steal,

    Who don't have any rooms to clean up,

    Whose pictures aren't on anybody's dresser,

    Whose monsters are real.

    We pray for those

    Who spend all their allowance before Tuesday,

    Who throw tantrums in the grocery store

    And pick at their food,

    Who like ghost stories,

    Who shove dirty clothes under the bed

    And never rinse out the tub,

    Who get quarters from the tooth fairy,

    Who don't like to be kissed in front of the carpool,

    Who squirm in church and scream on the phone,

    Whose tears we sometimes laugh at

    And whose smiles can make us cry.

    And we pray for those

    Whose nightmares come in the daytime,

    Who will eat anything,

    Who have never seen a dentist,

    Who aren't spoiled by anybody,

    Who go to bed hungry and cry themselves to sleep,

    Who live and move, but have no being.

    We pray for children

    Who want to be carried,

    And for those who must.

    For those we never give up on,

    And for those who don't have a chance.

    For those we smother,

    And for those who will grab the hand of anybody kind

    enough to offer.

    Missing the stump and severing a big toe with a splitting maul will do it. 4 letter expletives only go so far in a situation like that.

    No, didn't happen to me. Was just trying to think of something that would make me cry.

    I've cried several times lately. I need a vacation, but I don't know if it needs to be me alone. Some solitude would be nice.
