I Cried a Tear Today

Today I cried a tear, 
It rolled down my cheek and onto the walk, 
The rain came and washed the tear into a creek, 
The creek carried the tear into a great lake, 
The lake sent the tear into a wondrous river, 
The river brought the tear into a calm bay, 
A wave placed the tear onto a sandy beach, 
On the beach children laughed and played, 
While older men fished, 
And their hearts were filled with joy, 
The tear was a tear of great joy...

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
