in the midst of tears

in the midst of tears
light raindrops on flower petals
reveal beauty
something about which
one can be grateful
if so
in the midst of personal tears
what are you grateful for today
if so
in the midst of political tears
what can we be grateful for today
if so
in the wider scheme of life
what can humanity be grateful for today
name them
name them out loud
name them by writing
name them so they will never be forgotten
even in the midst of tears
