    What Are Tears

    What Are Tears: Drew Lancaster

    What are tears

    But an attempt to plead with fate

    Change its mind we beg

    Pity for our sakes

    Ask its forgiveness

    Tell it of our crime

    Whether Innocent or guilty

    We will be exposed in due time

    Yet tears mean nothing

    They will not change a thing

    They may send relief

    A drought needs the rain

    In the end the sadness still remains

    I ask you

    What are tears

    An honest plea with fate

    They give sufficient evidence

    A justifiable reason

    To the ending we create

    Hi Drew- My favorite of your works thus far. I don't remember having read one done from this perspective before. Wrapped very well with a lesson at the end. Nice work!

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
