All the tears which we creatures shed for Him are not tears as many think but pearls....

But pearls are for tears, the old legend says," Gilbert had objected.
"I'm not afraid of that. And tears can be happy as well as sad. My very happiest moments have been when I had tears in my eyes—when Marilla told me I might stay at Green Gables—when Matthew gave me the first pretty dress I ever had—when I heard that you were going to recover from the fever. So give me pearls for our troth ring, Gilbert, and I'll willingly accept the sorrow of life with its joy." -Anne

Judge me not, by my faith
judge me not, by my religion
judge me not, by my anger
that I may manifest happiness
we all have same desires, hunger
judge me, by those memories
when I earned your tears
by the cost of pearls

You left and I cried tears of blood. My sorrow grows. Its not just that You left. But when You left my eyes went with You. Now, how will I cry?

Amos, talk about pearls for teeth ... you got ‘em. No wonder the boys go for you, because I could too and if I had something to push between those pearly teeth I’d be first in line.

Man, I put myself in a lot of comic strips. Something's wrong with my sense of self.
