Accepted as a means to be express by some.
Needed for laughter; needed for pain; needed by one and all.
Drawn and formed from water and salts.
Slowly pooled into the eye at first, you sting when you appear.
To slide from the tear duct so perfect; so round.
Leaving a mark across the soft skin you run.
Wiped away quickly with a finger.
Caressed slowly away by a hand.
Lovingly shared in joy.
Sadly shared in pain.
Always shared with the world.
Y
our release a loss; is it for joy or pain?
You comfort when there is none to be had.
Your coming welcomed, even by those willing you away.
You shed with the laughter, the joy.
You shed with the pain, the loss.
Used by the young to speak to their needs.
Used by the young when showing joy at the world.
Used by the young to call in pain.
Used by them alone?
Used by all for you bring comfort when there is none to be had.
Used by all for you share in the joy.
Used by all for the pain is too hard to bear.
Welcomed by me to show joy.
Welcomed by me to show my pain.
Welcomed by me to comfort me when none is to be had.
Welcomed by me to cover a loss.
Welcomed by me to cleanse my soul.
Welcome to my eyes sometimes need more than most.
Welcome to my face to remind me of joys you shared.
Welcome to my face to help me wipe away a loss.
Welcome to my soul to show me I am but perfectly human.

Hey Mark, this is beautiful, and so so true....
I stumbled across these words in my inbox today, thought i'd share them with you:
Do not undermine your worth
By comparing yourself with others
It is because we are different
That each of us is special
Do not set your goals
By what other people deem important
Only you know what is best for you
Do not take for granted
The things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life
For without them, life is meaningless
Do not let your life slip through you fingers
By living in the past nor for the future
By living your life one day at a time
You live all the days of your life
Do not give up
When you still have something to give
Nothing is really over
Until the moment you stop trying
It is a fragile thread
That binds us to eachother
Do not be afraid to encounter risks
It is by taking chances
That we learn to be brave
Do not shut love out of your life
By saying it is impossible to find
The quickest way to receive live is to give love
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly
In addition
The best way to keep love is to give it wings
Do not dismiss your dreams
To be without dreams is to be without hope
To be without hope is to be without purpose
Do not run through life
So fast that you forget
Not only where you have been
But also where you are going
Life is not a race but a journey
To be savoured each step of the way
So smile and let the sun shine through
For there's someone
Somewhere, watching over you...
