Tears - They Renew Her Strength

The tears trickle from her eyes They drip and drip Without noticing it, She goes on So use to crying in silence So use to being strong So use to being alone Unwilling to show weakness Without warning The tears trickle from her eyes They drip and drip In her tears lies her strength In her tears lies her healing Because when no one is around As she is talking to her Master, They flow freely Because He never judge, He never forsakes He shelters her, even when she’s done wrong And when the tears are gone, She can face the world again Because weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning…

Amazing write yet again Wilma--yes tears are quite cathartic, aren't they? Very beautifully written and I really like how you used pretty similar lines in this one-- just some typos for the word "use"-- it would be better I think to use the past tense; as well as for "judge" --make it into the present tense so it ties in better with your other lines-- sorry do I sound too much like a K-I-T?? I hope not!!! just wanted to help :) --- nikko btw this goes to my faves as well ;)

Wonderful images here of the person who puts their trust in the Almighty. The tears you have writte about have been felt by more than a few in their lives...and makes this all the more meaningful for them. Great write, Wilma! Dan C

There's definitely a great cathartic cleansing that comes through those tears, Wilma. And when the start to flow, we turn to God for guidance. You managed to write an uplifting poem about tears! Awesome, my friend. This one goes to my favorites. Love, Carolyn
