A little mid-week poetry based upon a thought I had about my gift of tears. Well, that is the perspective I am taking because I believe that emotions are truly a blessing, even tears.
I have a propensity to tears.
You may ask:
Are not those tears my sorrow?
Or just the marinating of my years?
I have a propensity to tears.
Or maybe in sadness, you think I am mired?
Or maybe you think I’m an old lady that is just plain tired?
No, I have a propensity to tears.
A sensitive spirit when your story,
Your heartache,
Your sadness connects to my ears.
Oh yes, I have a propensity to tears.
