HEALING
TEARS
Bitter the
tears that will not fall
Although our
hearts are broken,
Our senses
are numb and we regret
The words we
left unspoken.
Painful the
tears that sting and burn
As we choke
to hold them back.
Difficult
the days as we struggle on
And we seek
the courage we lack.
Sweet are
the tears that wash our eyes
And bring an
easing of the pain,
They give to
us a strength
Like
sunshine after rain.
Sweet are
the tears that freely flow
Bringing
much needed relief,
They are
part of the learning,
The coping
and acceptance of grief.
Healing the
tears that finally come
When we
think we can take no more,
They allow
us to take tentative steps
And walk to
the future’s door.
