Tears Of Glass ©©

Tears of sadness
Feelings explained
Thoughts untold
Desires unfulfilled
A life unlived

Tears of joy
Dreams of tomorrow
Hopes of yesterday
Lost to today
A new sunrise for an old sunset

Glass tears fall
Only shattered dreams remain
Sharp pieces to feel
To walk through jagged memories
Bloody footsteps marking paths of yesterday

Thick soles grow
Sandals to shield the pain of time
Until the jagged edged pieces are put together
So tears of glass can become tears of joy
And shatter dreams are no more
