'our Journey'

I know you hate having me around I feel your fear, the angst, ‘cause I am a sign of weakness even though I bring hope at times, other times a brighter day a new perspective on a foggy splay… Let me help you get past the hurt, Let me help you deal with the loneliness Take me with you on this journey, Turn your frown into a smile As I trickle down your beautiful face Let me cleanse you and take the pain away… Inspired by the contest “Personify A Tear” by Wilma N. Neels 9th Place

You really did give life to this tear in your beautiful poem, Wilma. I think men tend to see tears as a sign of weakness, but I find it very moving when a man is strong enough to show emotion. Releasing the tears does "cleanse" us and helps alleviate some of the pain. Wishing you success in Rick's contest! Love, Carolyn
