Wherever Tears Are Poem by Francis Duggan

Wherever tears are only sorrow abound
And laughter not anywhere near to be found
Few do wish to know you when you are feeling down
A sad one indeed the sad sack of the town
Since they do carry with them the warm inner glow
The happy one everyone wishes to know
But the sad one the one that few do wish to meet
Alone in their sadness they walk on the street
Since they are incompatible as is obviously clear
Where laughter is sorrow is not anywhere near
The sad one his or her own worst enemy
This is how it is and it always will be
From wherever tears are laughter is far away
Tell us what is new to that you may say.
