Ebola Poem Tears & Sarrow Poem by Tom Zart

Tears are the raindrops of the soul
And there's one for all who die.
They are the silent words of grief
As they fall free from the eye.


The shortest verse in the Bible
Is the one where Jesus wept.
So, if you hold back tears, shed them
When your pain is too harsh to accept.

Tears are lovelier than a smile
When they come from those you love.
As they seek relief from sadness
When Ebola has taken you above.

Tears are a love-mates humble gift
When it's time to say goodbye.
Though the eyes are wet and swollen
With time and patience they dry.

After death our souls shall fly
Perhaps from star to star.
Reaching our destination
To find Heaven's gate ajar.

God made us able to cry
Sorrow teaches us to fear.
Those days we're selfish and cruel
When life is so short and dear.

Time wipes tears from all faces
Whose hearts are tuned to sorrow.
Those that cry a thousand tears
Shall be blessed by tomorrow.
