Slowly crawling turning gracefully down The box by the door waited beckoning A moment in time passed without a sound The time was here the time of reckoning
They came all of them huddled as if one All so different yet all just the same No going back no stopping at full run Not caring if from happy or sad pain
Floating as if soaring by mighty wings White the color of surrender or pure What my eyes surrender what my eyes bring Floating wings white touched my face with the cure
Dainty hand holding tightly the tissue Catching tears as they fell was no issue

About this poem:
Nothing like a pretty hankie to catch tears of joy or tears of saddness.
This would have been a PERFECT riddle with a title of.... "What am I?" - Your views and comments would have soared off the charts with this one!!! It's not to late to revise it as it's just been posted!
Love the picture and the way you described your pretty hankie! Not sure I would have known until you told me at the end, but then it all makes sense! Nice one.

Awww! so cute - and the poem is so tender and soft, uhhh just like a tissue! at least a tissue before it's been used for sure! sorry for using your tissue... The others are right though happy, you could have left us a puzzle here for a while. This is very enjoyable puzzle or not,
