Tears
Born of emotion
their destiny I fear,
is to well into life
then disappear.
Joy, sadness,
anger, pain,
they make no distinctions,
no judgments, no blame.
One of many
theyre too hard to stop.
Hearts break or mend
on a single drop.
They can cheer,
they can cleanse,
show love,
fuel elation,
Or help drown a soul
in total desolation.
Theyre always with us,
no matter our years.
We never grow too old
to shed a few tears.

The Gift
I love to walk the fields at dawn,
barefoot through the dew,
to sit and watch the rising sun
turn the dark sky blue.
Some days are bright with promise,
like a budding tree.
Some are dark and blow right by
like an autumn leaf.
Each day is a gift we're given,
fragile, like fine glass,
ours to mold and try to hold
before it hurries past.
