Tears are words the heart can't express

I recently heard a song, sung by a friend, that brought tears to my eyes. I don't know why, but there was something about the way that she expressed herself that touched my heart. We all cry at certain things, birth, marriage, death - but what ordinary things make your eyes moist? What makes you reach for the hanky or tissue?

Loss. The loss of a perfect moment, a treasured feeling, a glimpse of pure joy.......so many little things that make up the magic of life.

Weddings do and sad stories. Not full out bawling, mind you, just a little dripping...

When I watch Extreme Home makeovers. I know that is strange but it is so touching and sad but yet so giving that it touches your heart when you hear their stories and you see what someone is doing for them to make their life better. I have had a few songs make me shed a tear, One Tim McGraw Don't take the girl and One by Mark Wells Don't laugh at me there are more..but not time to write them down..lol

Oh, P1key, you wrote those beautiful words just for me today. I know you had no idea and that is one of the awesome things I love about life and friends.
I tear up regularly. I dare say I am more in touch with my emotions than the average person. Oiy!!!
Today I cried over possibly making a friend (a very dear friend) feel somehow less than the wonderful, amazing person that they truly are.
I like my tears. I almost never use a tissue to wipe them away. I like to rub them right back in to my face, like a natural healant.
Thank you for this discussion, my friend.

I am sure that your friend will understand Pots. Talk to her (him) and tell then how you feel about them. I get quite tearful too. Often over things that others might not. My friends here can reduce me to moist eyes just by saying something lovely to me. Onwards and upwards. We've got Mummymo back and for me that's a truly wonderful thing to have happen.

I don't cry. I really don't. I gave it up a long time ago when it appeared it did me more harm than good. However, I will cry if I watch a movie that pulls at my heart strings and believe it or not, as jaded as I am, in the past I've been known to cry when I watch the Price Is Right. I can't help it. I just get all happy for the person that won. LOL.

LOL. I haven't seen the price is right in years. I guess it takes all sorts of stuff to set us off. I have cried when I've thought of you in the past - darn I didn't mean to say that. But I have. You've shown me a lot of friendship over the past year. In the early days I really needed that comfort - still do sometimes. So thank you. XXXX

This is REALLY stupid, but I get teary when I see school lunch sarnies which have been thrown away by children on their way to school. I think of their Mums, packing the lunches with love and care, and it makes me sad their children fling the food away in such a cavalier manner. I also see apples with a bite out of them, etc., and it makes me sad. Go figure ...

I don't think that I have ever seen that happen Guy. When I was a lad we were always so hungry that we ate everything that we were given and our friends' lunches too if we could. What do they eat otherwise? The ubiquitous golden arches type food no doubt. Of course, we didn't have any money either, so there was no stopping for fast food or anything else.

Maybe you should write to both the Headmistress and the local paper to comment on it. When P1kelet was at school we used to worry that someone was bullying her into giving part of her lunch away. But I know that she ate her packed lunch, no doubt hoovered up her friends too if she got the chance. Now when I go to see her at Loonieversity she always says "Can we go the the supermarket" so that Dad can re-stock her. She has a part-time job in an hotel there. Free food is part of the deal and I don't think that she lets it pass her by.

The sporting oval across the road is strewn with wasted food each day, P1ke. It's really sad (as well as being a waste). The little buggers undoubtedly buy their lunch from the school canteen or at THAT VENUE (which is how the headmistress referred to Macca's when it first opened up the road. For some reason it just upsets me to think of the Mums making the lunch and wrapping it in greaseproof paper and putting it in a Glad Bag ... just to have it hurled to the ground. Shameful. And hurtful.

I very rarely cry unless I'm really angry. Because I don't cry much Mr Croc gets very protective when I do.

That is so descriptive and bautiful p1ke honey! So many things make me cry like knowing my frinds/ family are hurting or afraid, getting a surprise call, card or reminder from someone reminding me that they care about me, something sad happening , onions being peeled - in fact you name it it probably has made tears roll down my cheeks at some stage! xxxx

You guys. Just one little nudge or word of encouragement, sharing something personal with me, being nice when I am being pissy, any little thing can set me off.

Hello my dear p1kef1sh Ji,
Tears are as important as any other system in our body. By release of tears, we remove
many un-wanted chemicals from our body and after tears are out, we always feel better.
They are hearty expressions of sorrow as well as of happiness. But Scientist have found
out, where 'Tears' could be controlled. I think, it may be un-natural. Here is link to

May god bless you and have a great time.

Hello my dear p1kef1sh Ji,
There are certain things, which human body rejects and find suitable way to eject out,
if not done in time properly, causes ill-health. They include, sweat,stool, urine, and
so on along with tears. In other way round, body accepts Oxygen happily, as its needs to
survive. So let's be clear that if tears are controlled, will cause ill health. may
God bless you and have a great time.

I always cry at a great performance. I cry when people sing, where there is meaningful lyrics, when people dance, act, and perform... there's so much energy and time to have created their performance that I'm ALWAYS touched by great performances.

Amazing Grace! I don't know what it is about that song. I hear the music and before the words start I have tears. That song has always had that effect on me. I don't know why.

Hi p1ke, it depends on a lot of things with me it could be a soppy film, to the cruelty of animals especially, the cruelty of man and there non-humane ways of destruction in this world to a really meaningful song that may have a lot of meaning in it to me..even a card or unexpected present..all these things make my eyes moist...hugs LoLo

That's a lovely phrase - 'tears are words the heart can't express'.
Sometimes I find myself shedding a tear at the most peculiar things. Often though, it's a reminder to myself that I'm a very lucky girl, and not really because I'm unhappy. Call it female hormones run amock!

I cry over everything! LOL I'm such an emotional person. Like seriously I cannot watch extreme make over: Home edition with shedding a few tears EVERYTIME! LOL. I am and have always been an extremely emotional person which is good and bad. Good because I care about people and how they feel and but bad because I cry over everything. lol. There are some songs that get me teary too.

It's funny, there are some commercials or shows that just catch me at the right moment and I end up bawling. However, day to day it is things such as watching my children play quietly, the crows cawing outside my window, a streak of sunshine catching the snow just right.
