"Tears of Life"

cji
3/26/99

Verse 1
********

Tears of joy are good,
also of sadness sometimes,
tears of laughter
of ones self are helpful,
but not at another's expense.

Verse 2
********

Tears wash the spirit
and touch the heart
having the understanding
another often needs to see
and to know we love them.

Verse 3
********

Tears are little crystals
which fall upon the cheeks
while others never cry
those who do find solace
in a life so full of none.

Verse 4
********

Tears also come from
being deeply hurt
almost to not recover
to once again be a person
yet the tears help us see.

Verse 5
********

Tears of life lift a burden
from us now to be
a person we can learn
to like then love
to also care about.

Verse 6
********

Tears are from the spirit
set free or wounded
to allow us the world
to see and a person to be
not at another's expense.
