strength in tears

she was weak

cd playing reminders of someone who was lost

and tears dropping onto her lap

as we drove through the arizona desert

we watched

and hurt

and waited

as the songs repeated

and the tears kept flowing

i use to think she was weak

allowing us a front row seat to the brokenness

as we sat in the back with nowhere to go

crumbling

but now

holding tears of my own

all alone

i believe it's one of the strongest pictures she ever displayed to us

drive on my dears

there is strength in your tears

(thank you)
