One teardrop at a time.

I cried a bounty of tears
for the trenchant ills of the world
finding peace only as the last tear fell.

Hope washed anew
when in gentle reminder my heart whispered
the morrow sways gently on one song

If I can change willingly,
so can those around me
one teardrop at a time.

"The only constant in life is change...
Hope is our beacon of light in a world filled with ills - our tears will cleanse, wash away the stains - one teardrop at a time.
A truly beautiful piece of writing - never give up on precious hope!

[serpent]

a wonderful message of hope...giving the power and encouragement to hold on to hope even during those tough times when eyes fail to holdback that city of oceans dwelling inside our hearts...

hope on!
a delightful read!

I like it. We need more poems full of hope.

[cassandra violet]

a couple of suggestions I have to make this piece truly magical:
-If I were you I'd use a strong metaphor for the last line in the second stanza to get your point across more effectively
-try using a comma after the first line in the last stanza.

besides these two small things this poem is awesome!
