I Know My Tears

I know my tears I know where they live and why they come around with all they have to give Sometimes, it’s the memories of those that I once knew those that I have loved gone to live anew Sometimes, It’s for thoughts of days of sun and shine and for youthful bliss when the world was mine I know my tears I know where they hide I know they’ll be right here without love by my side Yet, not all tears are tears of woe but for joy, not sorrow gratitude for having lived and for one more tomorrow

Tears flood our soul for so many different reasons, and that is how we cope with our emotions. This is beautiful and tender, all at the same time. Your thoughts caress softly around my heart. Congratulations Mike, on Poem of the Day. :) Hugs, Brandy

Mike, I was one of the postwar boys taught to hide your emotions and never cry. I later came to realize the value of tears, both of sadness and joy and I love what you have written. Worthy of POTD, congrats ~ John
