Food for Thought

If I showed you my teardrops

Would you collect them like rain

Store them in jars that are

Labeled with “Pain”

 

Would you follow their tracks

From my eyes down my cheeks

As they write all of the stories

I am too scared to speak

 

Would you stop them with kisses

Bring their flow to a halt

As you teach me pain isn’t always

My fault

 

Would you hold my face gently

As you dry both my eyes

And whisper the words

You are too precious to cry

 

If I showed you my teardrops

Would you show me your own

And learn though we are lonely

We are never alone

We are the same

My soul honors your soul

 

I wish you enough sun

To keep your attitude bright

No matter how gray the day

May appear

I wish you peace

 

Remember to keep the circle positive, peaceful and loving. ©

 

Written with love.
