Tears Are So Special Poem by Jim Boone

They pay homage to great writing
And artistic delivery of line and lyric

Pour over grief for dearly departed
Or for a life thwarted too soon in youth

Tears punctuate happiness
Unexpected, surprising and overdue.

The ducts that deliver our tears
Are connected to the heart
Triggered by mind-melds
Of kinship, friendship and all other love

With a dash of salt, remembrance,
Kindness, thankfulness, love
And generosity, tears are very special
To the humanity of soul, measured only in time
And to the spirit of life unending
Measured in an eternity of smiles and tears.
