Tears of the Champion

Tears defy despair to showcase delight as heart overcomes sobbing of grief’s plight championing trust in God upon faith might. Grateful for the answered prayer requests weeping soul now triumphs over angst pests beseeching the Lord’s strength to face more tests. Since crying releases tension-torment repentant conscience airs praise sentiment to aid needy midst their predicament. Victorious against lamentation fears hopeful spirit presses on with blest cheers ascending while reaching-out those in tears.*
*Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

"Tears defy despair to showcase delight." What a great opening line that is the lynchpin for the rest of your poem of faith, gratitude and compassion. You have married your poem and the quote from Revelation beautifully. Congratulations for your win. Blessings!
