Poems

Too many teardrops are falling tonight,

Too many people are giving up the fight,

Sometimes life is too hard to bear,

Too many nisyonos more than a fair share.

With every tear the burden seems bigger,

The pain behind it we can't even figure.

Perhaps, with no tears in this world,

A better life we'd be able to herald,

Maybe without tears we'd be happy always,

No matter what we could smile anyway.

Yet the reality is that tears are needed,

To express our emotions we can't impede it,

For our heart and soul, our deepest feelings,

Innermost emotions and search for healing.

The intimacy of our tears cannot be worded,

For its sensation is so valuable, mere words can't afford it.

The river of tears is forever flowing,

The frequency of our cries forever growing.

No one can escape this inner passion,

A passion so strong it becomes an obsession.

Let the twinkle of every teardrop share its inner light,

Listen to the sound of every falling tear, however slight.

Tears are special, cherish each and every tear,

Cry if you need to, don't hold back a single tear.
