Watch A Mother’s Tears

Watch a mother’s tears
Tracking damp paths
Down her cheeks

See the love evoked
With each joyful
Taste of salted emotion

Note the tortured eyes
Forging griefs hand print
On her trembling lips

Feel the empathy
When her children
Tell tales of uncertainty

See her teach by
Showing tears are not weak
That vulnerability is blessed

Watch her anger
When her children
Are threatened

Feel the sadness
When she believes
No one is looking

Watch her hands
Stroke caresses of gentleness
To comfort troubled souls

See a face of sadness
When separated
From a lovers kindness

Watch A mother’s tears
