Weep Not, Rachel
by Riana

*****************

weep not, Rachel

tears of mourning for yourself

though sorrows lay heavily on your soul

more than any child should know

you will rise,

radiant out of the ashes,

brighter than any mortal sun

weeping tears of morning,

new hope so fresh it burns hot

in your soul like the fire of a new born star.
