In time teardrops blend with the rain
Flushing emotions down life’s drain
So much alike they shall remain !
Those raindrops falling from the sky
God’s cleansing force here rushing by
This separation won’t defy !
Thus tears and rain can sisters be
And blend together silently
While each retains identity !
True tears much softer surely are
Engendering those near and far
To welcome wind and greet each star !
