Tears

Sometimes the heart gets worn down by life's tears,
and the soul struggles to fix the human shell.
Time shows the weary eyes thorns of troubles,
yet the spirit strives to escape despair's cell.

A hurricane of tears moisten each human face,
teaching the mortal mind about wisdom's sight.
Character blossoms from pain's harsh lessons,
while inner strength is begged for from heaven's light.
