A Tear

A tear is a drop of the saline, watery fluid 
secreted by the lacrimal glands between the surface of the eye and the eyelid, 
serving to moisten and lubricate these eye parts,
but tears can also develop from a broken heart
or from joy or any of our many emotions.
If tears could be collected they'd fill all our great oceans.
