An innocent child shows sorrow over a broken
possession.
While a man weeps inside after being laid off during the
recession.
A heartbroken teenager pines for the tender kiss
of her first love.
While a little league outfielder sobs when the baseball misses his
glove.
Joyful tears stream down a happy bride's face on
her wedding day.
A mother sheds tears of gratitude after the safe return of her son
from faraway.
Happily, an Olympic medalist expresses her
difficult victory with a good cry.
A homeless family emits their grief after a destructive tornado
swirls by.
An elderly widow mourns the death of her husband
of fifty-years.
Changing emotion rules the kingdom in a world of tears.
