Tears

I live in a world of tears

Tears of loss,

regret,

remorse

and

grief

Tears flow easily when death is near

They flow more freely when it happens

It doesn't matter

that he was a scoundrel

or

that she was a drunk

It doesn't really matter

the pain they caused

or

the cruel words they used

Tears come because of what should have been,

what could have been

but will never be again

Tears come from grief, loss, pain

from what is gone 

and lost forever

Tears flow for lack of one last 'good bye'

But

soon the very reason for, 

the very cause of tears will be

wrapped up and thrown away

Soon, very soon

tears will

be forgotten

for the joy of what God has done

Soon, he says, he will wipe away every tear

Soon, he wrote, crying and tears will be no more

That means the very cause of tears will be done as well!

No more death, angry words, harsh looks, wounded souls, grieved relationships...all of it will be done, never to be experienced again

Tears are the results of something gone terribly wrong

Soon the things that cause so many tears to flow will be finished and there will never again be need for another tearful eye

Can you imagine how wonderful that day will be?
