Point:
the point that we all are human
that point was made
and the point that strength doesn't lie in the lack
of a tear rather than the shedding of a tear
and keeping our head up
continuing on (with that one tear still there)
ripping the heads off all whom stand in our way
while giving a starving child our last almond joy
(the single tear still there)
carrying wounded through heavy shelled
mine fields , to the nearest med station
finally falling to our knees only to pray
...questioning why (as we wipe the single tear)
then within in our prayers we pour our heart
shedding no tear - then the Lord fills our heart
with Love shown - it is in this realization
we again shed this one tear
leaving it there - as to say ....it is ok to be human
it is ok, it is enough...our humanity is our joy, our sorrow, our great connection.
