Tears

Hopelessness and despair
in a drop of pain does fall,
from my eyes along my face
treasured memories I recall.
Alone I suffer in silence,
my hearts breaks no one knows,
I have to keep pressing onward
my future God only holds.
So many obstacles in my way
will I ever overcome,
is the light at the end of the tunnel
a sign of victory for the battles I've won?
The salty stain remains reminding
me of the fight,
I'm a tiny mustard seed, a grain
of sand in this journey called life.
Tears sometimes unnoticed
by those who cry like me,
will never fall in vain
someone always sees.
The one who placed me here
and knows what lies ahead
tears are diamonds of a different facet
rainbows of love that will always be shed.
