Tear Catching

“I’m sorry that I hurt you

It’s something I must live with every day

And all the pain I put you through

I wish that I could take it all away

And be the one who catches all your tears

That’s why I need you to hear”  Hoobastank’s The Reason

Such an intimate moment is described.  I cannot help but envision the beauty of it.  The care and concern that goes into catching the tear of the beloved with a finger to cast it away.  ‘Tis a magnificent triumph of love; one that will be dwarfed in the future….

“And he will swallow up on this mountain the covering that is cast over all peoples,
the veil that is spread over all nations.  He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the LORD has spoken.  It will be said on that day, ‘Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us.  This is the LORD; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.’"  Isaiah 25:7-9
