Happy Tears

Sherri L. Smith 1966 (Alexandria , VA)

The tears that I cried yesterday
Today,  I hope to wipe away
When sad, I try to smile
If not forever, at least for a while

Just to be happy and free
And explore the innermost part of me
To wipe away all fears
And be rescued from drowning tears

To keep my life afloat
I sing a melodious note
