A Mother's Tears

They come at the best and worst moments. 

They can express the greatest joy and deepest pain. 

They are her strength and her weakness. 

But most of all, they are her love. 

In those tears are all her hopes and all her fears, 

Her greatest dreams and her darkest times . 

But she wouldn't trade them, because if she didn't have a mother's tears

She wouldn't have her greatest gift, hope and triumph, her child.
