sonnet for crying
Tears fall across your face
love slipping out of your heart
leaving it in every place,
but falling on hardened hearts.
You pour them out still faster
wanting and needing to share
often ending in disaster
because no one can be fair.
Please keep weeping, crying
for in your tears, my hope
hope for God, passion, life, and dying
that the world finds a way to cope.
Never let tears of love stop spilling
A legacy of love they are fufilling.
