Analysis of A good cry
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
I am amazed by the human body...
Controlling our
Emotions
Inflamed
Healed
By
A good
Honest cry
One from the heart.
Who really knows what we're capable of?
Doctors practice: experimental view.
Could the answer
Be inside
Our mind?
Hear!
The fear of the Lord: beginning wisdom...
No more sorrow.
No more pain.
Former
Things...
Until that day
Cry to heal...
Must employ
Tears of
Joy.
