A Crying Star
Giving souls for light
For a future that is bright
Wiping tears without showing smiles
Without legs but walking miles,
Time, An enemy
Fear, Deeper than the sea
Hope, trying to find
Trying to see even if they’re blind,
Losing children
Losing lives
Losing husbands
Losing wives,
Through all the tears
Trying to smile
Through all the darkness
Trying to see light,
Resentful feelings
A bruise that’s not healing
Hidden within hearts
Tearing them apart,
Hearts timid and torn
Weary and worn
Trying to forget defeat
With every second a heart beats,
A crying star
Alone and far
Its tears drop
Tears that never stop,
A peaceful place
Filled with grace
A place for tomorrow
A rainbow of happiness
That clears all the sorrow….
