It's Worth Crying Over

      His luscious, shoulder length, dirty brown hair flowed in the wind. His skin was completely flawless, not a single mark or sign of acne. He had dark blue eyes, when he would look up toward the heavens his eyes make the sky cry. People gathered around him in awe as even they cried at the sight of him. A old woman stood in front of him. More tears poured from her eyes than the sky's. The old woman in front of him was his mother. She stood alone as his father was not able to accompany them. He had said that he was too busy at work but the majority of people who did attend knew that it was only because he was visiting his therapist so he could get that great sensation that he loves so much.
     A man stood behind the son, he held a Bible in one hand and a golden cross in the other. He wore a black suit with a white stole around his neck. He hadn't seen the child in his life but he could tell that this wasn't the end of the joy that he brought his family and friends. The man knew that people would look back at him and remember. The man in the book placed the cross in his shirt pocket and said to him, "Goodbye my son."
     More and more tears fell from the peoples faces who gathered around him begging him not to go. His mother fell to her feet, tears covering the ground that she knelt in. As he faded away into the reality of this world people slowly got back into their cars and slowly drove away. Those who stayed were either helping his mother get back to her feet as she said her final goodbye's to her son, or those who began placing the dirt into the whole. There was a chimney, and candle that stood at the base of his tombstone, the candled flickered a few times until it completely went out. This day was truly a sad day, but people will not forget the happiness that this man brought us, weather the idea of a candle and wind chime was right to show where he went we may never know. "Today was worth crying over." His mother said as she jumped into the hole joining her son. The few men who were burring the coffin did not see her act. She two was buried.
