So many tears

what do they mean?

For me they are an expression

of feelings inside

some sad

but most glad

Laughs and giggles and smiles

tell stories

but tears dig deeper

They share more

if you learn 

to read them

You will see 

they are in fact

 a blessing

Nothing to fear

or protect me from

Only to take you down

the path of me...

The deep deep tears

are few

and far

between

Saved for true tradgedy

not wasted on anything

less...

You don't need

to wipe the tears away

or fear them

just learn

to read them

So you can be free

to embrace

all of me.
