Sorrow is better than laughter <br /> For by grieving, we're improved. <br /> Blessed be all who morn <br /> Till from sadness they're removed. <br /> <br /> After death our souls shall fly <br /> Perhaps from star to star <br /> Reaching our destination <br /> To find Heaven’s gate ajar. <br /> <br /> God made us able to cry <br /> Sorrow teaches us to fear <br /> Those days were selfish and cruel <br /> When life is so short and dear. <br /> <br /> Time wipes tears from all faces <br /> Whose hearts are tuned to sorrow. <br /> Those that cry a thousand tears <br /> Shall be blessed by tomorrow. <br /> <br /> TEARS <br /> <br /> Tears are the raindrops of the soul <br /> And there's one for all who die. <br /> They are the silent words of grief <br /> As they fall free from the eye. <br /> <br /> The shortest verse in the Bible <br /> Is the one where Jesus wept <br /> So, if you hold back tears, shed them <br /> When your pains too harsh to accept. <br /> <br /> Tears are lovelier than a smile <br /> When they come from those you love <br /> As they seek relief from sadness <br /> When you're summoned from above. <br /> <br /> Tears are a love-mates humble gift <br /> When it's time to say goodbye <br /> Though the eyes are wet and swollen <br /> With time and patience they dry. <br /> <br /> God’s Poet <br /> Tom Zart <br /> Most Published Poet <br /> On The Web! <br /> All 580 Poems Free To Use To Teach! <br /> <br /> Tom Zart www.internetvoicesradio.com/t_zart/ <br />http: //www.veteranstodayforum.com/viewforum.php? f=38<br /><br />Tom Zart<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/typhoon-haiyan-tears-sorrow-2013/
