A Whole Life In a Tear

9 may 2015 7:59 PM When a baby is born they cry tears of life Their daddy cries tears of joy as he kisses his wife When they are small and get burned by the stove they cried tears of a hard lesson learned When they misbehave they cry tears from discipline stern First loves kiss then first heart break brings tears of pain as the soul is torn Tears of joy when their own children are born Tears of dissappointments to many to count Lost jobs and opportunities that didn't work out Old and worn and waiting to die tears of longing and wondering why Each tear carries with it a moment of their life so listen, have compassion and understand when they cry
