Somedays You Just Need to Cry

Some Days You Just Need To Cry…


A spanking at my birth, to help make me cry

Often I have wondered, why oh why?
From falling down at play,

While others stop and stare,

Mommy says to dry it up

With quivering lip I obey...

Growing to adulthood, I will sometimes cry...
Don't ask me to tell you…I can't explain why
Happy tears, sad tears, tears shed just because
Life gets difficult when there’s no applause…
Laugh and the world laughs with you…
Cry and you cry alone…
Some days you just need to cry…

Let those tears fall... 

A broken spirit dry’s the bones…

But a merry heart will make you strong...
Jesus wept…we all will weep…before the day is gone…
Crying is not a bad thing…it simply helps us cope…
Tears to bring us release, tears to hope...
None of us wants sad tears…sometimes our eyes just leak…
But those who cry shall reap in joy, the humble, the contrite, the meek…
