Tears before bedtime
And Tears before tea
Tiers before lockdown
Tiers- one, two, three.
Tears, it will all end in
And Tiers they will make
Tears on my face
And not Tiers on a cake.
Tears like raindrops
Tiers are rules
Tears for release
And Tiers for fools.
Tears show we love
Tiers – our cage
Tears make us fear
Tiers keep us ‘safe’
Tears are emotion
Tiers leave us cold
Tears of our youth
Tiers getting old
Tears with friends
Tiers alone.
Tears with lovers
Tiers- at home.
God waits for our reaction. He watches how we handle the adversity,
whether we handle it with love and self sacrifice,
or chose darker, destructive emotions.
Regardless of the fact that we may want to scream and shout
Regardless of the fact that we may want to break down and cry
He watches for our reaction
He hopes beyond hope that we are patient
That our patience knows no bounds
He BANKS on us, hoping we are loving and compassionate
He BETS on us, hoping we are caring, accepting and understanding.
He HEDGES that we endure our suffering with dignity and grace.
And whatever will be, will be for our good and for the good of all.
