Promise of Tomorrow

My cries of joy
Are filled with tears.

Tears of rage,
Tears of grief.
Tears that started my release.

I couldn’t stop the tears
I cried at a drop.
Because I had no hope for any more tomorrows.

Tears of rage
Tears of grief
Tears I shed for relief.

Tears that I shed when I felt sad.
Made them quite mad.
Because I had no hope for any more tomorrows.

Tears of rage
Tears of grief
Tears that I sobbed with no relief.

Tears that imprisoned Me with no belief
I shed with no relief
Because I had no hope for any more tomorrows.

Tears of rage
Tears of grief
Tears that became the key to my release.

Tears that bear all that I feared.
Tears that shed all of my fears.
Because I had no hope for any more tomorrows.

I am ever grateful
To the few who dared
To reach out and touch the tears that were Me

They took from me

My tears of rage,
My tears of grief
And in doing so gave me relief.

Now I cry with joy
And cry with relief
The promise of many more tomorrows is my release.
