To weep the tears that never learn,
   which cannot always heal concern
for things that are beyond control;
   But- crumpled hearts they do console!

We cannot banish tears of grief;
   to cry them often brings relief.
There is no switch to end their flow-
   a plan to stop them- must forego.

Emotional distress brings tears
   that may flow till the sadness clears.
No matter what the sorrow brings;
   our crying bathes the hurt that stings.

Be thankful tears don't need to learn,
   from the past memories that burn,
that they cannot reverse what's sad;
   just be our soothing, healing pad.

1.“To weep the tears that never learn”
