Analysis of Broken Tears
When angels cry it's not just when
Catastrophe has come.
They also shed tears now and then
And are now crying some.
They cry when people pray without
The faith that prayer needs.
Instead, they pray despite their doubt,
Surprised at where it leads.
They also cry when people are
Unhappy God did not
Do just what they asked, by far
Blind to blessings they got!
