Joan Donnelly Ellis Poet Lyric

Tears

Tears
 Tears are a language the tongue knows nothing of
 Birthed in a Land where Angels dwell far above
 This world of too much ignorance, and too little shame
 Where corruption sits on a throne over earth to reign
 Tears are the soul's expression
 Of a heart breaking in two
 Of intense pride in someone worthy
 Of gratitude for all God's done for you
 Weep and be ashamed not
 For tears are a sacred gift
 From a Holy place
 Be still and hear tears for they speak
 And are a reflection of God's face
