Life's siren emanates through tears
The baby's shrill cries
Serves as an ice breaker
Brings joy to its maker.

The growing years is tough
With moments of crest and trough
Expectations rise , to conceal emotion
Yet tears roll in slow motion.

The world has prepared us
To be stoic and callous
Making the tear glands dry
For tears evaporate , without a cry.

Lo, life ceases on a fatal day
In silence , we pray
Eyes trying hard to roll down tears
Alas they have turned into frozen tears...

The Frozen Tears
