It’s Okay to Cry

It’s okay to cry

hide not those teary eyes

for they are beautiful

just as they are.

Let pearls of sorrow fall,

let them relieve an aching heart.

Let no one judge your pain,

and let none say, it’s not okay to cry.

Rain falls

and clouds do get dark,

yet we fear not the rain

we let it fall to wash away our pain.

It’s okay to cry,

come lean your head

upon my shoulder

come sleep awhile upon my lap.

The darkness is passing,

the night can’t last

and the rain that has pounded strongly

upon the rooftops will stop.

It will give way to a new day

it will yield a beautiful rainbow

full of hope for tomorrow

full of joy for the new day that arrives.
