"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love." -Washington Irving When the light fades from my eyes, Weak and frail before it dies, Light a candle to remind Even though my eyes be blind, Love still abides in my soul, Love, the kind that makes one whole!

Gosh.. This is such a profound and eloquent anacreontic couplet! You've crafted such heart-touching emotions in a very gorgeous way here.. Very true, tears aren't a symbol of weakness, rather they reflect resilience and help us to cleanse our negative aura, making space for positivity to flow.. They are a way, to comfort our aching hearts and infuse strength in the life to face the hardships.. Beautifully written, dear Gina, love this :)
