If Our Tears Grew on Trees Reb Cantor Lisa Levine
If our tears grew on trees we could water the earth 10 times over crying for the release of the captives who sit in darkness .
If our tears grew on trees we could make the desert bloom sending them a glimpse of beauty in their despair .
If our tears grew on trees the rivers would be flowing into the sea and far beyond carrying them to safety .
If our tears grew on trees the mikvah would be filled waiting to submerge us all , healing bodies and minds .
If our tears grew on trees our cups would be filled with the sweetness of hope believing that prayer has power .
If our tears grew on trees the emissaries of freedom would reach them all life rafts of salvation and peace .
The tears we shed are holy they wash us clean of sin and water our gardens with forgiveness .
