Tears

How wonderful it feels to give in and let tears flow

when we are overwhelmed

with emotions, whether we are happy or sad.

Tears come from the soul,

from our well of feelings

risin g from deep down.
When we give in to the

prickling behind our eyes

and the lump in our throat to let teardrops fall from

our eyes, we allow our feelings

to surface so they can be set free.

Proud parents shed tears

of pride in a child's accomplishments,

a baby's first step, birthdays,

and graduations.
Long lost friends fall into each other's

arms, tears rolling down their cheeks

when they reunite after years of

separation.
Tears

may flow from us

when we are witness to a commitment

being made at a wedding

or even while we are watching a love story .
Tears

of relief may spring forth from our eyes

when we hear that a loved one has

survived an ordeal,

and tears may fall

when we bow our head in sorrow over

a loss or death .

Tears born from heart ache

can flow like they' ll never cease ,

whether our tears are for a love that is over,

a friendship lost, or an

opportunity missed.

We shed tears

because of disappoint ment in ourselves,

tragedy in the world , pain,

and illness.
Tears

of anger

can burn with emotion

as they fall down our faces .


Tears offer us a physical release of our feelings.


Shedding tears can sometimes

make us feel better, although it can feel like

the tears will never end

once the flood gates are open.


There is no shame in

letting tears flow freely and frequently .


Tears are as natural to us as is breathing.


There is beauty in allowing yourself

to be vulnerable enough to

shed tears .
Open up, release your tears ,

and let your feelings flow.
