Tears of joy, tears of sorrow.
Tears of happiness, tears of pain.
Tears to ease our frustrations.
Tears to cleanse our soul again.

Tears are shed for many reasons.
Each has a purpose of its own.
They are an expression of our feelings.
Same as a smile or a frown.

Tears do not show weakness,
But strength instead.
They show confidence in ourselves.
That we can express our feelings without fear.

Those who chuckle, laugh, tease....
Really don't comprehend just what it takes to shed a tear.
They will try to tell you that its a weakness,
to be sensitive, to care.
I feel its a strength, a blessing.
Why should our first way to communicate,
to express our wants, be something bad?
