Tears, a Language That God Understands
Tears,
a Language that God Understands
Written: by Tom Wright

Lord,
As tracks of Angels
you've made our tears,
Permanently tattooed
on our countenance for years.
We reminisce of those
for whom they were shed,
For those numberless souls,
appearing to us, unfed.
In their wetness,
we oft feel your embrace,
As tears
stream silently down a wrinkled face.
"Face Ruts",
having seen their share of briny flow,
Over some lost soul,
whom they perhaps don't know.
Like leaf clinging dew,
tears fall amid our sorrow,
For family and friend
without hope of tomorrow.
For awakened thoughts
once put fast asleep,
God alone, knows our heart's,
and why they give occasion for eyes to weep.
