Evolution of Tears

Poem Commentary

This is my testimony of pain and pleasure. I am a living witness that God can give you all the love you need when you need it most.

Evolution of Tears

Pain metamorphs to pleasure
But do not dis-associate the
One with the other-for together
Both produce a measure of
Endless grace and testimony of
How Faithfulness runs after me.

Raindrops change from sleet
To snow as it comes down from
The sky, so I descend with the
Thought in mind, my friend, that
I will rise like mist from the sea
Because Grace is carrying me.

Bear me up on angel wings,
So my feet don't touch the ground-
All around, I claim every
Promise You said in Your name
Because that is what I bank on...
I lean and depend on every word
You said out of Your mouth,
Because Your words sustain me.

My tears are tiny triumphs
As I surrender my will to You.

Nice poem! I like the simile from tears to raindrops and how you have the word to lean on and tears are tiny triumphs.

What a wonderful devotion to what I am guessing is God. If not God then something pretty special. I love the imagery.

No guessing required Its God who carries me thru when I am in pain in my life

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
