~ A Tear-Stained Life ~

Everything you seek in life
Everything you attain
Will be acquired through some tears
A lot will fall like rain.

All the happiness that you seek
All that you pray for
The tears will always come to you
Like a storm, they will always pour.

The joy that you continually seek
The joy for which you pray
Is with you everyday of your life
Your tears will show you the way.

The love that everyone hopes to find
The love that is meant for you
Always contains a lake of tears
Your tears know when a love is true.

All this and more is in each tear
Happiness, joy, love, and pain
Look back upon your life so far
You'll see that it is tear-stained.
