TEARS

Gently down my face it falls
This time, it's a happy tear
I've witnessed something truly touching
Makes my day, my month, my life

Another day, the cry is sad
This time, it's a loss that's felt
not only on my cheek that day
but deep inside my broken heart

How different those emotions feel
but on the face, the same result
Watery eyes, a choked up throat
yet, I'm happy to be moved to tears

Because without the salty mix
of joy, of love, of pain, of loss
This life we have would mean noth-ing
The tears, they make us very strong

We notice now, what might have been
standing in our way or worse
We know how much we'll miss the day
when what was there is gone
