They say our tears wash away all that is old, <br />They are the cleanser of our very souls, <br />And when they are through, make us whole. <br /> <br />They stream down like the rain, <br />Our emotions they do drain, <br />Purifying evil demons of the past, <br />So we may live happily at last. <br /> <br />To bury deep, the sadness of life, <br />Our tears wash away all strife, <br />That we may hold our heads on high, <br />And never again let our demons nigh. <br /> <br />Our tears wash away all that is old, <br />Never again to shiver from the cold, <br />That has wrought our emotional state <br />And our demons they did abate.<br /><br />Barbara Lynn Terry<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tears-33/
