Replace Tears by Cheers
I look into the baby’s eyes
Which are glistening like ice
Though the sparkle is nice
It needs mother’s love-device
Bulls’ eyes always have tears
No cow, no calf and no cheers
All my tears my mother clears
Perennial tears, if she disappears
The beggar’s child cries in hunger
It could not bear hunger longer
To bear hunger it is not stronger
Weeps not man the power-monger
A child’s fear for injection
Results in tears’ ejection
It can offer only objection
But it cannot exercise rejection
In labor pains mother cries
To console her, father tries
But because both are wise
A prize comes for their enterprise
Joy or sorrow, tears may form
They may calm or create a storm
Everything happens as per God’s norm
Let us pray to solve every harm
Tears and sweats we must get
Heart and body both will wet
For a perfect life, both must be met
Life is zero if they come not yet
Tears, to try, will induce
Determination, it will produce
Love to be idle, it will reduce
They are of immense use
If tears are perennial
Living will be very cruel
But if efforts are true and real
Tears can be given a firm denial
When mind and heart are heated
Tears are automatically created
Through eyes they are eliminated
A soul’s position is clearly stated
Tears also we badly in life need
A matured life they help us lead
To wipe off tears let us plead
To our requests, may God heed
Tears are in God’s laws compulsory
Reasons for tears may widely vary
Finding out the reasons is necessary
As watery eyes have a background story.
