One teardrop at a time.

I cried a bounty of tears
for the trenchant ills of the world
finding peace only as the last tear fell.

Hope washed anew
when in gentle reminder my heart whispered
the morrow sways gently on one song

If I can change willingly,
so can those around me
one teardrop at a time.

awwwww this is just simply beautiful.
The ending was most excellent.

The tears are like a washing away the ills of the world to allow HOPE to shine through.

Loved it

This is beautiful. Seriously, it speaks a truth we rarely come to know...but the last stanza is wonderful.

This poem was absolutely heart-taking. I loved it. Short, simple, and to the point, you declare your melancholy state. 100, great job.

And that is all it takes! Peace is only a whisper away, one person can make a huge difference!
This is beautiful!

And does not hope fly often on the wings of what has fallen friend? With these words am I swept up by such wings, and carried in the hope that the world can indeed change, for the tears of another.

true to the heart
