My Tears

Without persons there would not be a tear Of wells they spring forth of emotions clear What be purpose so personal a tear Running in river’s emotions so clear Emotions of a mother brings a tear Cuddling newborn baby very dear Neglected child, poor misfortunes not mild Borne in broken homes of chaotic wild Salute of veterans brings many tears Sitting without their legs in their wheelchairs Their sacrifices visually clear Their freedom for ours, something very dear Their salty drops of water drop in beers Taverns of lonely hearts, tokens of Cheers Tear lotions, giving emotions of dove Consciences would soon sear over without love Little bitty tears spoil the acts of clowns When final act of life’s curtain comes down Salty tears neat, when life produces treat Tear summative blessings of life be sweet May we live and learn as tear rivers burn As human faults, failures and pleasures churn Let us measure our treasures by tears lost As life measures our pleasures, counting the cost!! =============================== Destroyer ~ Poet Contest Name:any poem goes......
