One Solitary Tear

Linking with Poetry Jam a great place for writers....check it out. :-)


"Man is harder than iron, stronger than stone and more fragile than a rose."  ~Turkish Proverb



One solitary tear may fall...
yet hundreds of voices share the same cry.
We are never truly alone no matter how it may seem.
There is always someone else that has faced the same trial.
Another soul that has been in a worse place.
So take hope by the hand and hold on tight.
Follow where it leads.
Now repeat after me:
I am not alone.
You are not alone.
We are not alone.

    What a beautiful thought, Carrie. We ARE never alone. We are connected with so many others that have walked a similar journey, have had the same thoughts. A solitary tear IS never really solitary, is it? Merry Christmas, Carrie.

    One solitary tear may fall...
    yet hundreds of voices share the same cry.

    This is a beautiful poem. Very interesting! I reflected, and it is true. We sometimes (better said I sometimes) feel like we are the only ones to face "unique" problems. We are all in this together.
