Concrete: Tears In A Bottle Poem by Caryl Ramsdale

Do you
know God
puts all your
tears in a
bottle?

Like the
pages in
my bible
that record
my family tree;
You've recorded all
my troubles in Your book
of tears I see. Here's the time
I found my true love. Happy tears
Shimmered on my face; So sadly I lost
that loved one. You received all my tears
with grace. You wrote down the birth of my
child, prideful tears glistened in my eyes; And
when he [she] caused fear and sorrow, You took
my tears each time I cried. See the star beside
my new job, You blessed me and I walked tall;
I got stubborn, went my own way, You caught
my tears, I took a fall. All my tears are in a
bottle, my bible says You put them there;
To remind me of Your presence, each
Time I shed tears in despair.

Thou tellest my wanderings:
put thou my tears into thy bottle:
