You scrape your knee

Your feelings get hurt

Your eyes leak salt water

But what nobody tells you is

Even the sky cries sometimes

And that’s why you smell lavender and thyme

Violets and roses, raspberries too

All of his pain is beauty to you

His tears are what makes the grass grow

His anger helps you feel less alone

The storms he makes show his truth

All this because he felt just like you

So don’t be ashamed for how you feel

Band-aids don’t always help you heal

So I will always be by your side

Whether you laugh and smile or cry

When you lie in bed or play at the park

Your feelings show how strong you are

Remember it’s always okay to cry

Because guess what? So does the sky
