Tears in a bottle

Tears in a bottle, filling up fast
How many tears to get past, the past?

Tears in a bottle, shed each day
wishing the hurt to just go away.

Tears in a bottle for losing my faith long ago
not knowing He cared, so I just let go.

Tears in a bottle filled with rage and pain
can this heart of mine stand the strain?

Tears in a bottle held by His hand
tears still shed, will He understand?

Tears in a bottle marked with my name
will you help me, I live in shame?

Tears in a bottle for the lost childhood
memories linger, heart feels like wood.

Tears in a bottle, sometimes not so bad
sometimes filled with wonder, sometimes glad.

Tears in a bottle, He holds them for me
someday those tears will show me I am free.

In His love,
Grasshopper
