As if we were ashamed,
But tears are drops of salve
Through which there’s much we gain:
Each teardrop spilling over
Brings sympathy to fruit;
Compassion’s felt the strongest
Where pain was most acute;
Each drop that fills the eyes
Refines the soul through fire;
Like rain upon the trees
It helps the spirit higher;
Each tear that flows through pain
That comes from sacrifice
Fuels love that burns the brighter,
Revealing life to seeking eyes…
