AN ODE TO TEARS

AN ODE TO TEARS



Tears are heart’s mirror true,
They are fragile tender dew.

Tears are nature’s gentle art,
They soothe bruised and broken heart.

Tears are a flow of feeling,
They bring a touch of healing.

The eyes from which flow down tears
Are window of pains and fears.

Why hold the tears in disdain?
They ease out the inner pain.

Tears are treasure of love sweet,
They flow when the lovers meet.

At the feet of Lord when laid,
They are in heaven repaid.
