The Origin of Tears

Tears come in times of pain.
Tears comes in times of rain.
Tears come in times recalled again.
From the emerging of a child from a mothers womb,
To the last day of one crawling into a tomb.
Tears are apart of our world.
Whether we are rich or poor.
Big or small, hard or soft,
We all have tears.
Some do not cry outside,
But its still the same.
Tear is a tear by any other name.
They pour from our eyes, from the wells of our heart and soul.
They sooth the pain we find ourselves apart.
Tears come and tears go.
Until Christ comes they will continue to flow.

Richard J Wright (2009)
