Tears washing over me,
Disinfect and set me free,
From the trauma of tragedy,
Purify hot anger infecting me,
Wash all pain away inside of me,
Tears of joy celebratory,
Release intensity so easily,
Happy moment glisten freely,
Jump and shout glee indwell me,
Tears of Hallelujahs praising Thee,
Tears of Compassion sweetly,
Course of mercy full-heartedly,
Expressing all genuine empathy,
For the pain of others a sympathy,
A human bond of love, peace, unity,
Tears of Jesus wept for me,
And you, hating sin’s tyranny,
Tears of blood to make us free,
Of death, the end of sin-infamy,
My tears of gratitude, I offer Thee!

This is lovely! Reminds me of a verse in the Bible about God saving our tears in a jar.

8 You number my wanderings;
Put my tears into Your bottle;
Are they not in Your book?

Thank you, Linda and thank you for adding the verse. How often do we hold back tears when what we need is a good cry? God has purpose in everything.:0)

Aww! That’s so sweet. It’s endearing to me to be thought of that way. Kinda odd, but sweetly comforting.

No, not ‘odd’ but instead, a very powerful, expertly worded thought that gives me insight into men and tears. I live in a family of men, you know. I desperately need that insight! lol! Our words don’t belong to us, once expressed and we never know what purpose they will serve.

Very true. I guess I’ve never thought much of my masculine slight in my writing. I live with myself, ya know? 😉

People mistake me for a man, often…maybe, from living in a family of mostly, males? Anyway, it un-nerves me so, be glad your maleness shows through!

Lol perhaps that’s why I relate so well with you. “People like me, we like our own kind.”

I like you because you’re weird like me? lol! Yes, I get you…but I actually, enjoy diversity in others if they will also, tolerate me. There’s nobody like us, Jacob. I’m sure your wife finds you charming and loves everything under the charm too.:0)

Great poem. Tears are a gift from God. I don’t know why people sometimes make it out to be an unmanly thing to shed tears. I think I’ve seen more tears and shed more tears during my time in the Marines and also with ministry with guys. Those things are pretty “manly” stuff in our culture’s eyes…

One of the things that drew me to my husband was his soft heartedness expressed by his ability to easily, tear up. At that time in my life, I couldn’t cry because I was so locked down. My husband helped me get back in contact with my tears. If that makes sense… It’s an important part of being human.

Beautiful! I love a good cry, had one last night at a special place and really honestly just talked to God, those times are normally the most raw. I’ve learned not to hold back tears, let them flow freely! God bless you!
