Can You Catch their Tears

Have you ever stopped to count the tears that fall around you? We know our own too well, but do we carry the tears of others?
A little girl wakes in the early hours crying over stomach pain, a young wife in the morning can't hold back the tears as she sends her husband off to work worried about his fidelity, a barren woman of 9 years begs for a child around noon, an elderly friend weeps over her husband's diagnosis in the evening, and at night, an old lady's voice trimmers as she knows her days have come to an end.
