Tears

There are tears, which fall silently like rain
Bathing a soul to wash away pain
These are the tears that are shed in grief
Their falling brings a sense of relief
They may drip from within tirelessly
But soon they are nothing just a memory
These are the tears of sorrows sad song
The ones that soak a pillow all night long

There are tears, which gush from anger’s eyes
That frame words strung with poisons lies
These are the tears that speak of hate
That denies that truth is in the hand of fate
These are the tears that fall in despair
When you think that life is cruel and so unfair
But these tears don’t last they drain away
Fading from view in the light of day

There are tears, which flow in a constant stream
When your life turns into a nightmare’s dream
When the hopes you had lie broken and torn
When you watch in dread the rise of the morn
These are the tears that cut like a knife
When the life you live is full of strife
But these tears will cease eventually
And you’ll find the sun will shine constantly

There are tears, which only fall in the lonely night
But all tears fade in the warmth of hopes light

Marsha


Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold

So many tears, at times,
we wonder if the well will ever drain....

it never really does...
but it does subside, a bit...

because those gone from us,
wish us only Life, and the thrive
to continue....

Just as it should be,
so shall it be done...

yes?

Dearest Mushy, you turn your tears into beautiful words my sweet friend.

You're right, they'll dry up eventually
They'll be replaced by a beautiful memory
And when that happens dear Mushy love
You'll be touched by a smile from above


In my thoughts I'll hold you tight
And we could chat all through the night
How love has touched, then fled away
Then we would toast to the coming day

That is really what friends are for
To help you live through grieve and more
So raise your glass my Mushy dear
For I think dawn will soon be here

Love'n hugs,

Titia


Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

There are also tears of joy... and I hope they grace your life soon, dear lady. *S*

And there are tears of gratitude... such as I shed when I think of your friendship. *S*

Beautiful write from a beautiful heart....
