I am the black child of a white father,
a wingless bird, flying even to the clouds of heaven.
I give birth to tears of mourning in pupils that meet me,
even though there is no cause for grief,
and at once on my birth I am dissolved into air.
What am I?

I enjoyed the riddle, but I don't quite get the "white father" part...A little help please.
This is good... but i dont understand the white father either. I got it though b/c of all the stuff in the news right now about the pope and black and white smoke. Good riddle. Post some more!
