When my eyes swell up with water, The reasons for the emotions matter, I know it is because I care, For it’s not always that there’s a blur in my glare! Tears define who we really are, Never a weak mind, a timid intellect, nor a scar; Though people decide that’s what they signify I perceive a robust brain they personify! My tears mean sad and happy too, They mean indignant and a bruised heart so true, They also stand for agony at apathy around, My tears can anything expound! I cry in happiness and in gloom, I cry for no reason and in any room, I cry with friends and in solitude, I cry depending on my mood. I cried when I lost someone who was most dear, I cried as my son got his degree, in glee; My eyes are moist when friends & family forsake, They got mushy as my new book in my hand, I did take! Tears show me a person is real, When the moist eyes match the honest appeal, It doesn’t take long nor too much chic To differentiate a freak from someone who’s unique! If you say, you never cry, think hard my friend, Catch your feelings, the indifference you apprehend, In the end only genuine & authentic is a winner which wins I know my tears, to me, mean a million things!

My tears mean a million things….today they mean pride, gratitude and thankfulness!
