Tears
Crystal tears
Polished with pain
Glisten, shine
Amidst life’s
Long, twisting lanes
Chimes in wind
Tinkling with sound
They slip, slide
Fall to ground.
Call out my name
These harbingers,
Past pains warn
Of future hurts
No one escapes
Travails, sorrows
We glide forward
Unknown indeed are
All tomorrows
Only one promise
Stands so clear
Voiced from heaven
To mortals so mere
Look up, see
My arms await
Each who tries to follow
My beckoning Son through
These opened gates
My tears also fall
To soak a thirsty earth
For all my lost children
Who turn their backs
On their gift of
this glorious new birth!
