TEARS IN SORROW OR JOY

TEARS    IN    SORROW    OR   JOY

WOMAN

In the depth of her eyes I think I saw

Through the corner of her eyes so slow,

Ere it reached her cheeks she choked

She  stopped them in their flow !

She controlled today her unknown fears…

For her unfound child she spared her tears….

&  MAN

He was a man, he thought at times

He had nothing to do with tears

Seeing his son struggle hard in his prime

Reminded him of his hardfought time….

And choked him with those unknown tears….

GIRL

I hate you! I hate you! She thumped his chest

Her heart raced like a horse of the wild west

She thought she would that night not last

As she went numb with  his grip and pull

Tears again  dropped into  her bosom full

I love you! I love you! She whimpered at last.

& BOY

He cried like a baby in her frail little  arms

How could he chastise and bring her harm

He sobbed on her bosom yet again

Tears did flow as she stroked away his pain

SO THEY MUST FLOW…..

 Tears in a Man inundated I have known

Tears of a woman in her joys unknown

Tears of a mother when the new born cries

Tears of a father  when his son, just ‘tries’….

"AND FLOW ON…

Find a man who can say to me

“I never cried” - he is a liar you see.

Sad is  a man who says he never could cry

His sorrows bottled and his throat choked

He would go out and give one more try

And in the rain, he’d  wobble  in his jeans

As his tears in  the rains - flow unseen.

TEARS & MORE...

In life, and  death the tears  flow unchecked

Every pent up heart in its wave is wrecked.

Tears can shear what no sword can do

And tears can join  hearts sans much ado.
