A Tear

Overworking instead of tear Fighting instead of tear Not talking instead of tear A sleeping pill instead of tear An alcohol instead of tear Why do we avoid this honest tear? So far and so near So pure and so dear

Vanessa, lovely poem! Sometimes we have to have a good cry even though others might see it as a sign of weakness...it can be therapeutic! :)
