Tears are really jewels you know, <br />none of them go to waste, <br />they're collected by tear angels, <br />soon as they leave the face, <br /> <br />the broken-hearted leave a trail, <br />of brilliant sapphire blue, <br />the deeper in the heart love dives, <br />the deeper is the hue, <br /> <br />fine baby tears of innocence, <br />the palest pinks and greens, <br />they line the halls of Heaven, <br />and flow from every seam, <br /> <br />Paraiba Tourmaline, <br />a splash of blue-green sea, <br />come from the tears of mother's, <br />that children haven't seen, <br /> <br />The Rubies of a lover's tears, <br />Are passion flames of Red, <br />emotions words cannot express, <br />manifest as tears instead, <br /> <br />the heart-felt trail of soldier's tears, <br />shed on their buddie's grave, <br />acknowledging their sacrifice, <br />become deep shades of Jade, <br /> <br />tears falling from the pure of heart, <br />become those diamonds bright, <br />through which all colors can be seen, <br />through their brilliant light, <br /> <br />Yes, <br />Angel's gather all our tears, <br />that man-kind <br />to them lend, <br />evidence of love that lives, <br />preserved as precious jems<br /><br />Elizabeth Lindberg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/legend-of-tears/
