Why Cry?



Why cry?  You should be laughing!
These tears are not your style.
Why mourn?  You should be singing!
You face adorned by smile.

Why cry?  My heart is heavy.
I'm far away from home.
My soul seeks quiet solace
And, I feel so all alone.

Why cry?  The sun is rising!
The darkness is no more.
A brand new day to promise
Something better than before!

Why cry?  My heart is aching.
Tears are all I know.
If there's a silver lining,
My clouds won't let it show.


Dry your eyes!  Tears kept!
Let it flow . . . Jesus wept.

  2. I agree with Corinne, tears are made up of so much more than sadness and salt.
