What is a tear?
Is it just a drop of water dripping from our eyes?
Let us stop and listen to the sound of the tears.
Quietly it speaks to me - telling tales abound
Today it says to me, I’m full of love and joy -
My name is Happiness.
Tomorrow, who knows who I’ll be
I may be tears of sorrow that you see
My name is Sadness.
Perhaps you are surrounded by smiles, jokes and fun.
As your body shakes with laughter - your eyes might set me free
My name is Joy.
Some days the world is full of frightful things
that make you feel afraid.
When you start to feel this way the tears may fall and say -
My name is Fear.
At times you may not even hear a sound but still the tears may fall.
The silence of these tears might tell you that I am all alone.
My name is Loneliness.
There are times the tears just start to flow
for no reason that you know
A feeling washes over you that makes you feel so calm
My name is Peace.
Your tears can mean so many things so stop and take
some time to listen to the sounds of the tears.
