Nobody Catches Their Teardrops

 

 For some money, the little child has stretched a hand,

 Against mine, I can suddenly sense,

 He looks so hungry and tired,

 The teardrops of his sister are about to collapse.

 

Some have the luxury of catching raindrops,

 Those flood-stricken grab relief,

 An infant is happy seizing its mother’s fingers,

 A special phenomenon that does lessen her grief.

 

 But, do we amplify our hearts honestly,

 For those whose teardrops perish hopelessly?
