Painful
Tears
Running down your face
When you least expect or want them
To show up
When your inner faucet somehow seems
To have a faulty leak
Why cry when we should be laughing?
Why the mess when all we want is
A clean slate
Why the pain when we least expect it?
What's the purpose of crying when all
It does is to show our weakness and
Make us look ugly
Humanity
Crying shows we're human
When your child whimpers and tears roll down her face as she experiences
Physical pain for the first time
Her mother cries too
Even as she kisses the hurt away
It would be wonderful if all hurt could be soothed away by just a
Kiss and a Hug
When you see your best friend
Struggling through issues of self-esteem
Or facing the loss of a precious parent
You cry
Because you're human
When you see innocent lives lost
For stupidly sensless reasons
Lives that could have been saved
And should have been saved
But weren't
You cry
We cry when we care
We cry when we love
We cry when we feel so strongly
And so passionately about
Something or
Someone
When we want a situation to change
So much that we would do
Anything Within
Our power to change it
We cry
Crying is powerful because it exposes
Our deepest human need to feel
Without becoming vulnerable
We cannot become strong
Without crying we cannot laugh
Without shedding tears we cannot have
Eyes that
Sparkle and Shine
That reflect light prisms
Rainbows from within extending outward
Connecting hearts
And changing lives
