Tears Of Sorrow

I look to the long road behind
My heart is heavy with people’s sorrow
Tears of grief wash away
For all that we have lost they march away
The winds of life, sometimes, carry pain from a heavy loss
The wind of life can blow in a problem or two
The wind of life and tears, extract a very high cost as the price for her life it blows hard for the rest of the way.
Life winds can bring disappointment that won’t go away
Life winds can break us, sometimes they can break us in tears
Life winds can blow badly for many days when life doesn’t go our way, but when the dark clouds clear up the bright sunshine's upon us
I hope the last tear doesn't fall
I hope and wish it doesn't come again
It hurt me too much, it hurt me like a lion ripping me apart
I’m glad the last tear didn’t fall.
