Tears
Tears can be for joy, for laughter, or for fear
Tears can appear at any time of year
When tears fall from our eyes they clean life’s lens
Allow us to rinse the eyes; our emotions to cleanse
Tears come from the spring that washes hurt away
They are a sign of our pain – all on display
Our throat begins to tighten, and our heart clenches tight
We hang on to our emotions, but soon lose the fight
It surely is a waste of time, you never should cajole
A person filled with tears, that is out of control
Instead just offer warm strong arms, and keep them safe until
Emotions and their sobbing begins to be still
Don’t tell them not to cry, don’t try and make them stop
Tears relieve pressure that could make you pop
Tears can be such a cure, a healing from within
Tears are the water of life held in your skin.

Tears can mean a lot more to me, I remember the tears the day you and Ian were born, tears of happiness. I remember tears as my grandchildren arrived into the world, I remember the happy tears that ended up in such laughter that you nearly fall over, so for me I would rather remember the tears of happiness, tears in sadness eat at your very soul.
