Tears - They Renew Her Strength

The tears trickle from her eyes
They drip and drip
Without noticing it,
She goes on

So use to crying in silence
So use to being strong
So use to being alone
Unwilling to show weakness

Without warning 
The tears trickle from her eyes 
They drip and drip 

In her tears lies her strength
In her tears lies her healing
Because when no one is around
As she is talking to her Master, 
They flow freely 

Because He never judge,
He never forsakes
He shelters her, 
even when she’s done wrong

And when the tears are gone, 
She can face the world again 
Because weeping may endure for a night
but joy comes in the morning…

Amazing write yet again Wilma--yes tears are quite cathartic, aren't they? Very beautifully written and I really like how you used pretty similar lines in this one-- just some typos for the word "use"-- it would be better I think to use the past tense; as well as for "judge" --make it into the present tense so it ties in better with your other lines-- sorry do I sound too much like a K-I-T?? I hope not!!! just wanted to help :) --- nikko btw this goes to my faves as well ;)

Wonderful images here of the person who puts their trust in the Almighty. The tears you have writte about have been felt by more than a few in their lives...and makes this all the more meaningful for them. Great write, Wilma! Dan C

There's definitely a great cathartic cleansing that comes through those tears, Wilma. And when the start to flow, we turn to God for guidance. You managed to write an uplifting poem about tears! Awesome, my friend. This one goes to my favorites. Love, Carolyn
