Cry Not a River of Tears

C-ry not a river of tears, 
H-owever painful or gray; 
O-pen your eyes to trials, 
N-ever ever walk 
A-way. 

D-ry your crying eyes, 
E-ither cheek won't drown; 
L-et the light warm your heart, making not you feel down. 

R-iver of tears overflows, 
O-pen your mind to sorrow; 
S-top crying over the loss, 
A-llow your life to glow. 
R-aindrops cease to fall, 
I-nclement clime disappears; 
O-ctober twenty-fourth day, cry not a river of tears.
