Jar of Tears

Jar Of Tears
By Cynthia R. Daigle

Do you have a Jar of Tears?
Hurt collected through the years.
Unbroken glass with guilt inside
And other things you try to hide.
Unspoken words from the past
Cause scars that forever last.
Bitter memories, regrets, and shame;
You think you are the one to blame.
Lost and alone, your soul is bound.
Your broken heart lies on the ground
Nothing seems to stop the pain.
Your salty tears fall like rain.

Can I see your Jar of Tears?
Precious jar you hold so dear.
Can I look into your pain?
Would I understand your shame?
I want to see your tears of sorrow.
Regrets from yesterday
Fears of tomorrow.
I want to look into your eyes
To see the pain you try to hide,
To know the reasons why you cry.

Can I hold your Jar of Tears?
Take away your doubts and fears.
Can I throw it to the ground?
The shattered pieces can't be found.
To give you the rest and peace of mind
Your weary soul seeks to find.
Your fear grows weak,
Your heart grows strong
I know it won't be very long
Until I hear you call My name.
You'll fall into My arms again.
You know I will be there for you,
To break your Jar of Tears in two.
