Tear drops
The salt and rice
Which they give to my eyes
Is a prized.
When problems affict me
And in sadness I am drenched
They are my best friends.
Tears mix up with
The mud which pours out
From my facial glands
...making my face matte.
In a beauty of their own....
They glorify my skin tone.
If time offends,
They mend the cracked bends!
