Tears To Comfort Poem by Shamba Kaunda

A dropp a dropp then a river,
Sigh of relief,
Then gone the fever,
Bringing joy to a place where my heart lives,
They are tears to comfort,
I believe thats true,
They live my heart so soft,
I believe that too,
When red they turn me blue,

Drop by dropp they make a stream,
Carrying my pain and burdens in them,
Living happiness in my soul,
And stabilizing my temper,
They comfort and heal my burning sore,

How sad i may be,
I cry and cry till there is no sadness in me,
No more tears and my eyes become dry, very dry,
Then search in my heart,
You will find no fear left,
Tears eroded them all,
They appear to be tears but they are not so,

They run down my cheeks very slow,
Together with bad memories they gently flow,
A broken heart they do mend,
I weep and weep till the sorrow bends to the end,
No matter what situation an in they do soothe me,
For they are tears to comfort.
