A Tear!

Tis naught but a tear

But yet, tis a wetness one cannot forget

It starts it’s journey deep within one’s heart

A journey from birth to death

A tear of joy when baby’s start

A different one for when love one’s depart

A cry of anger as life goes bye

Of war and death and there goes I

Of tenderness, love and walled up grief

A wetness that tears down one’s stony cheek

A tear that cannot be contained

Emotions when the heart is strained

A flood that tends to overflow

Of sadness that all of us can know

Children were told grown men don’t cry

Oh! How could someone to them, so lie!

For Men and women have emotions too

Sometimes a cry is good for you

Of joy, love, sadness, loneliness, and grief

Of departing lover’s who left you as a heart stealing thief

Cascades of tears walled up behind your eyes

If let loose would flood the stars

Tis naught but a tear and yet

It travels with us through life so we cannot forget!

If I had one wish to give to you

It would be for
a tear of happiness your whole life through!
