Life isn&#039;t about waiting for the storm to pass...<br /> It&#039;s about learning to dance in the rain.

Streaming drops of salt,
Drenching stains of emotion.
Tear drops come plenty,
No need for a magic potion.

Dampness overwhelms your eyes,
Like face paint on a clown.
Tear drops appear,
With either a smile or a frown.

When you’re feeling down,
Or the color of blue,
Tear drops will come.
They will come to you.
