Salty tears upon my face
trickling down my cheek
like tiny rivers
seeping slowly
till the droplets peak
I learn a lesson as I taste
the moisture on my lips
there are two sides to every coin
one bitter and one sweet
In all of life we have a choice
accept what comes our way
for taste is but a state of mind
Sweetness I choose
then with a smile
I wipe my tears away
