“TEARS”

Such salty water flows from my eyes –

when I think I’m doing fine.

I’m going through the steps of life-

is this some kind of sign?

I desire to be a happy soul –

in all I say and do.

But at those times when tears just fall –

my heart just sees it through.

I long for peace within myself –

to get me through each day.

One day at a time is all I can do –

and I’ll continue to pray.

I’ll pray God heals my heart and my mind –

for He is the lifter of my head.

I’ll trust Him for rest each night when it’s time –

to rest myself on my bed.
