Tears

Tears from pain, pain from a hurt or from surgery. Tears from unkind words, words that should not have been said. Tears from dreams, the dreams that did not come true. Tears from life, life that has hurt both you and me. So many tear soaked pillows we all have, tear soaked pillows that were so unnecessary. We forget about our glittery and crystal tears for all to see. Glittery and crystal tears, from the ones we love. Glittery and crystal tears, when we receive a special gift. Glittery and crystal tears, from a kiss or a loving touch. Glittery and crystal tears, from heaven above. Glittery and crystal tears, can be given to others to make their day. Glittery and crystal tears, to show our love. Date Written: 7/10/2020 1 Place STRAND COMPLETELY NEW (8) any theme any form Contest Judged: 7/12/2020 Sponsored by: Brian Strand
