Analysis of The Secret Of Tears.
THE SECRET OF TEARS.
Poem by ABONGILE MBOBO
A drop of tear is more
valuable than a diamond.
It does not easily fall.
A drop of tear
Sometimes becomes
too Heavy to bear
No one nears to share.
A lack of care made him fall.
A tear does not drop merely.
There must be a reason behind.
As leaves fall after winter
With the shake of wind.
Do not fear o my dear brave friend.
The lights of hope spread in
spring.
Louder, louder they rings.
I have seen some green twigs.

About this poem
Sometimes we judge the book by it's cover without knowing what is inside. In that case we never know what is behid the tears of others and it's not easy for any person to talk the pain that is behid those tears.
