Today I cried tears to cleanse my soul;
I cried for all the times when I had no control
All the times when I could not stand up for myself
Today I cried for all the good times
I cried in appreciation for what the lord has done for me
And I cried for the joy of having a child who loves me in spite of all my imperfections
These tears were a way to clear away the cobwebs of my mind
And these tears allowed me to breathe again
I cried for all the women around the world
Through all the tribulations and trials they are facing
I cried also for their joy for those moments when they more powerful than anything else that ever walked the face of the earth
And in those tears I acknowledged my own weakness
I acknowledged that we are far stronger when we know where we can fail
And in those tears I was pleased with the life that I have
So yes today I cried; there was nothing wrong; nothing bad had happened
It was like my soul was re-living all the moments of my life since the day I was born
And it was acknowledging that I am here, that I am strong, that I am weak and complex and that I am loved
And that sometimes I will love those who don’t love me enough
And some time there will be those that will love me more that I love them
And these tears were also a celebration, a celebration of life
And as I finished crying I opened my eyes; And I could see clearly this path ahead
And this path was glorious; And it showed a future in which I had power over my own life
Where I could make decisions that would impact well on myself and others
So yes I cried for a good reason; And my crying cleared up my eyes
