The Edge of Tears

Today, is a day, the edge of tears
Feelings filling, swirling, waiting fears
They sit just behind warm dark eyes
A weightiness that strength belies

Then - the thought that made them spill
Right over the soul's window sill
A brushing thought that pushed them over
To cloud window's light, curtains clovered

Each perfect tear, like heaven's rain
That spill from clouds onto our plain
Bestowing life so very precious
Bringing smiles and laughs to the precocious

Each a diamond, brilliant, clear and hard
Untold gems - sadness, joy and fury
Where clarity clashes with misty swirls
A whorl of wins and losses, songs and loves

Liquid trickles down weathered cheeks
Signs of life etching grooves and lines
But each a step that takes us forward
To a new life, another day of purpose

It takes purposeful very conscious thoughts
To change the think that I think to thought
Thank God for the Peace, Hope, Love and Joy
Jesus' precious blood has wrought and bought
