know God
puts all your
tears in a
bottle?
pages in
my bible
that record
my family tree;
You've recorded all
my troubles in Your book
of tears I see. Here's the time
I found my true love. Happy tears
Shimmered on my face; So sadly I lost
that loved one. You received all my tears
with grace. You wrote down the birth of my
child, prideful tears glistened in my eyes; And
when he [she] caused fear and sorrow, You took
my tears each time I cried. See the star beside
my new job, You blessed me and I walked tall;
I got stubborn, went my own way, You caught
my tears, I took a fall. All my tears are in a
bottle, my bible says You put them there;
To remind me of Your presence, each
Time I shed tears in despair.
Author’s Inspiration:
Thou tellest my wanderings:
put thou my tears into thy bottle:
[are they] not in thy book? PSALM 56:8 KJV

CONCRETE POETRY FORM; A concrete poem is one that takes the shape of the object it describes.
This is different from a Shape poem, in that a Shape poem does NOT have to take the shape of the object it describes.
The Internet version of theTears in a Bottle Collection is inspired of God. It's designed to use the power of the Internet to minister through written words to readers of every nation, of every faith. Its inspirational, evangelistic style, Christian poetry is shared by its author in hopes of encouraging devoted love, healing tears, hearty laughter, or precious
memories that will restore family togetherness, as a desire of the heart.
featuring young composer/pianist Yuko Ohigashi [Yuko's CD's available]
