Sorrow is better than laughter br For by grieving, we're improved. br Blessed be all who morn br Till from sadness they're removed. br br After death our souls shall fly br Perhaps from star to star br Reaching our destination br To find Heaven’s gate ajar. br br God made us able to cry br Sorrow teaches us to fear br Those days were selfish and cruel br When life is so short and dear. br br Time wipes tears from all faces br Whose hearts are tuned to sorrow. br Those that cry a thousand tears br Shall be blessed by tomorrow. br br TEARS br br Tears are the raindrops of the soul br And there's one for all who die. br They are the silent words of grief br As they fall free from the eye. br br The shortest verse in the Bible br Is the one where Jesus wept br So, if you hold back tears, shed them br When your pains too harsh to accept. br br Tears are lovelier than a smile br When they come from those you love br As they seek relief from sadness br When you're summoned from above. br br Tears are a love-mates humble gift br When it's time to say goodbye br Though the eyes are wet and swollen br With time and patience they dry. br br God’s Poet br Tom Zart br Most Published Poet br On The Web! br All 580 Poems Free To Use To Teach! br br Tom Zart www.internetvoicesradio.comtzart br http: www.veteranstodayforum.comviewforum.
