Tears of our Lives
A tear shed without Purpose
Unlike a tear shed in Pain
Can be said it's Meaningless
This tear that's shed in Vain
Some tears get their Meaning
From grief brought on by Sorrow
Other tears gain Momentum
By the promise of a better Tomorrow
The best tears shed are Those
That mostly come through Joy
They fill you with such Happiness
Envelop us with great Awe
Even tears that go unnoticed
And the ones that we Forget
Should never be judged as Meaningless
It's our lives that they Reflect
