So many tears – throughout the years Tears of doubt when I hoped to find out That love would win – against my sin Tears of yearning in my heart, gently burning Filling me with an ache – but I didn’t break Tears of compassion who’re never out of fashion Though understanding left my soul withstanding So many tears who could quiet my fears Tears of grace wrapped in love’s embrace Reminding me that hope can surely cope Tears of joy who left me feeling like a toy Putty in the hands of this Savior’s plans Tears of pain who wept like the rain Revealing the glow of my heart’s flow So many tears this life always shares Tears of praise for the One who will amaze Abiding in the soul who God made whole Tears of wonder, louder than the thunder Living in the heart the mind will never outsmart Tears of light who teach the spirit to fight Battling the shadows with faith in the One who arose Tears aren’t always wrong, at times they’re like a song Freeing the soul to believe in the love who’ll never deceive Offering God recompense for our worst offense Giving Jesus all our praise because He always stays… Saving those who believe He is the One to whom we cleave With all our hearts and souls, His love always consoles He’ll never leave us to endure – our redemption He can secure!

Each tear that falls has a story of its own to tell. Gina, your poem tells many stories of love, loss, faith and healing. It's quite beautiful.
