A Tear I Cry
A tear cried for sadness,
Not because I am sad.
I cry for many reasons,
Tears cannot be planned.
A tear cried for loneliness,
Not because I am alone.
I have loyal companions.
And on four legs they roam.
I cry a tear for happiness,
Not always am I happy.
But being content is okay,
It beats a day that’s crappy.
I cry a tear for laughter.
Not everything is funny.
Guess I am thinking silly,
That every day is sunny.
I cry in a pathetic way,
Not taking things in stride.
Foolishness surrounds me.
With nonsense why I cried.
