Sadness

Guard your tears well in this lifetime, my friend You'll surely need them when your world turns sad And turn it will from beginning to end As you will lose love that you thought you had All our teardrops are rationed in this life - Sadness is the biggest user by far Do not be caught with no tears for your strife Guard them closely as if kept in a jar You will see forlorn men who cannot cry Heartbroken women who cannot shed a tear Sadness will destroy them by and by Without tears to cleanse and wash away fear Save tears for sadness - the sadness, my friend For I am now dry and have none to lend 3/20/2017
