Poetry: Faces

by Tom Zart

Created on: October 18, 2008

Sorrow is better than laughter

For by grieving, we're improved.

Blessed be all who morn

Till from sadness they're removed.



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 were 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.
