Sometimes I Cry

Sometimes I cry

If you asked

I probably couldn't tell you why

And it's not always because I'm sad

Sometimes I cry

When all I have done is run

Beaten down from exhaustion

Sometimes for no reason at all

It is like my eyes had finally had enough

All of the baggage

All of the weight

Just becomes to much

And down they pour

Like the skies that bring may flowers

Sometimes I cry

Not for me but the way I see someone

It's like there is a magic in that moment

That whoever it is I see

Just warms my soul

And that precious soul

Is like witnessing the greatest waterfall

After spending countless months in the middle of the desert

But the greatest is

That sometimes I cry

From the most outstanding belly laugh

You know that one that is so contagious

That if you walk into the middle of it

You too can't help but smile

But...

Sometimes I cry

For the loss of a loved one

Or that someone is hurt

Or even in pain

It is as if someone has reached through your chest and ripped out a piece of you

A piece of your soul

That you can never get back

I am so grateful for the tears

We all may cry ugly

But to feel and to be alive

Is to be able to say

That sometimes I cry
