Tear Bottles


Contest:  where Do Teardrops Go
Sponsor:  John Lawless

"...You have collected all my tears in a bottle..."
Bible-Psalms 56:8, NLT.



I know where teardrops go,
Because the Bible tells me so.

Like all the rivers that run to the sea,
Tears also need a place to be free.

Sometimes, our tears may flow gently;
Other times, like white water rapids; Rapidly.

A tear drop is like a letter in a language.
Those tears are flowing with a message.

They are speaking to any who will listen.
Although tears may dry or be wiped away,

There is a refuge place  where they may stay.
With his love, God puts our tears in a botttle.
