Our Tears

What are our tears?

Maybe the tears that we cry
Are meant to be what they are,
A way to help ease our scars,
To help sooth our broken hearts.

An expression of joy,
An expression of pain,
A way for our feelings
To come pouring out like rain.
A way to make our sadness
Go down the drain.

Our tears fall because
Sometimes we do too;
Sometimes you fall on me,
Other times, I fall on you.

but...
That is why we are here
For each other
To help us make it through
The stormy weather.

Dedicated to my Mom who has cried more than her share of tears
