They are

not of weakness,

But a manifestation of resolve

not of sorrow,

But unforgettable memories of joy

not of falsehood,

But a testament of conviction

not of despair,

But an unyielding hope

not to be unvalued,

But to be held, cherished and respected

not to be halted,

But to be given their rightly earned freedom

not to be shared,

But with love, trust and vulnerability

Tears.
