The dew drop

What does a dew drop remind you of?

“Pearls!”, cried the happy and gay girl
Without a care or worry in this world
“Nice and round and shiny and bright
They are so pretty - so nice and so white!”

“Perspiration, on my brother’s brow
After a day of toiling, grueling and more”
And so said the young one who had seen more care
More than his and his brother’s fair share.

Said the soldier, “A drop of muted tear
On my mother’s face, all lined with wear
As she waits to see if I come back home
Her only son, from across the foam.”

Each according to his station spoke
So many emotions does the dew drop evoke
As life parades the purity of the dew
With all our feeling, we taint the view.
