crying is deep pain unstammering orater needs no translator when our words fail us our tears are understood for tears are liquid prayers eloquent tears flow no interpreter needed prayers flow from thine eyes

A great saying that sticks to one's mind. "tears are liquid prayers to one's mind". Blessings

thanks, Victor, for visiting my site and reading this poem. Glad you appreciated the say..."tears are liquid prayers." Don't know where I got that line. I think it was just 'given' to me. I liked it too. Have a pleasant day!

I'd answer by hugging tightly. Wipe your tears on my chest. No kissing just caress. and caress and caress.

Hugging is a great comfort to a hurting soul..hugging without kissing is sometimes the best. Thanks for stopping by and for your comments. Enjoy your evening, Sara

David once said that God saved his tears in a skin bottle, so I can relate to the liquid prayers metaphor. Very nice

Thanks for stopping by, Tom. Wasn't familiar with the Biblical reference you mentioned. Must look it up. Thanks for your kind comments about my metaphor. Have a pleasant evening, Sara
