Tears

The raindrops falling to the ground

With an extraordinary sound

The pitter-patter of the drops

Upon the road and on rooftops.

The sound of thunderclaps at night

Can give a child quite a fright

The flash of lightning come and gone

Can flicker houselights off and on.

The scent of dewdrops on the grass

Is hidden by windows made of glass

And songbirds singing melodies

Can put a person quite at ease.

The sun peeks out to show its face

To keep us warm in time of haste

To dry up tears that hit the ground

From hurtful words spread all around.

So even if we're not the same

Don't force someone to feel the shame

The shame of being shunned away

For it will hurt them everyday.
