CONQUERED TEARS

2 days ago
I've learned to lavishly launder lingering tears,
Lavish tears that were worth shedding
To wipe away wrenching wounds of worn-out years,
Worn years that weighed me down with weary fears
I've learned to wear a warm, winsome sunny smile,
I wear it well, through winding roads and trials vile
To show the world a brave, bold, and beaming face,
A beautifully brave face that beckons hope and banishes the darkest spots
But still I feel the piercing pang of pain,
Pain that persists with a lingering refrain
Yet, I'll hold on to this hard-won heroic might,
Mightier than the darkest night
For every tear I've tenderly torn away,
Torn away to make room for a brighter day
And with each smile I brightly and bravely wear
I wear it with courage to wipe away each sorrowful tear
I've learned to clean my crippling tears,
I clean them completely and calm all doubts and fear
I wear a courageous smile through all my fears,
Up the mountains and in the valleys.
The fears fade away when love and light appear,
Just as my name Bright.
