LOVE IN EVERY TEAR
As long as he has known her…throughout their many years
he has always been in awe of the variety and vastness of her tears.
One day he finally said to her, “I want you to know.
“I’m in awe of how easily, how beautifully and how effortlessly your tears flow.”
“I’m in awe of how deep your well of tears is…at how long your tears can last.
How you cry when you think of your mom and dad…or your sister who has passed.”
“How you cry looking at old photographs…you cry on walks along the shore,
how you cry at movies and at songs you’ve seen or heard a hundred times before.”
“How you cry when you read love stories or poems…how words make your tears flow.,
how you cry when you hear sad news about people you don’t even know.”
“How you cry at a beautiful sunset…the perfect sunrise…a kind and gentle touch…
I wonder…have you ever wondered why you’re able to cry so much.”
“That’s just who I am.” she said…”I don’t control when my tears start
but I know they help to soothe my soul and help to cleanse my heart.”
“I am blessed to have been able to cry often through all these years…
and I imagine I would be heartbroken if I ever ran out of tears.”
As he listened to her explanation…and thought of all the years that have gone by
a smile ran across his lips and a tear dropped from his eye.
For he realized whether the tears flow when she’s happy or cascade when she is sore
there are a multitude of reasons tears are created for.
And having known her all this time…standing by her side through all these years…
he knows wherever they originate from…there is love in every tear.
