A tear and a smile Poem by Khalil Gibran I would not exchange the Sorrows of my Heart for the joys of the multitude I would not have the tears that sadness Makes to flow from my every part turn Into laughter How would that my life remain a tear and A smile Tear to purify my heart and give me Understanding Life's secrets and hidden things Smile to draw me nigh to the sons of my Kind To be a symbol of my glorification of The Gods Tear to unite me with those a broken Heart a smile to be a sign of my joy and Existence Rather that died in yearning and longing Than I live weary and despairing I want the hunger for love and beauty to Be in the depths of my spirit For I have seen those who are satisfied The most wretched of people I've heard the sigh of those and Yearning and longing Sweeter than the sweetest Melody With evenings coming the flower folds Her petals Sleeps embracing her longing A morning's approach she opens her lips To meet the son's kiss The life of flowers long in fulfillment

Tear and a smile Waters of the sea become vapor and rise And come together in the area of cloud Foreign Floats above the Hills and Valleys Till it meets the gentle breeze and Falls weeping To the fields and joins with Brooks and Rivers to return to the Sea it's home The life of clouds is a partying in a Meeting Tear and a smile So does the spirit become separated from The greatest Spirit to move in the world Of matter Pass as a cloud over the mountain of Sorrow Planes of joy to meet the breeze of Death To return whence it came To the ocean of love and beauty To God [Music]
