TEARS OF HOPE

As the tear drops slowly begin to fall

And my heart begins to cry

I look again at your picture

And have to ask the question,

Why did you have to go away

And leave me here all alone....

Why did you not find the words

To tell me you would not be coming home

I sit here in silent memory

Recalling all the things that were said

Of how we would always love one another

And look forward to the good times,to be shared

I know now that it is not possible for a long time now

And we will not for long share that time, side by side

But still the dreams, wishes and memories

Are there in the tears I have cried

As each day slowly comes to an end

And the sun sinks lower in the sky

The rays of the dimming sun

Seem to dry the tears that I cry

I can now look up to the sky above

And see all the rays that are shining there

For with the dimming of the suns bright lights

I see the beauty that is waiting to be shared

Shared with that special someone

Whom I know will one day come along

And build with me special memories

Put the words to a very special song

The song will be of friends and lovers

Who share a life built from so many good things

Like love, trust, faith and gentleness

A tune that’s carried on loves gossamer wings

Time will now still these silent tears

And the sadness will fade away

To be replaced by hope for your arrival,

For love, faith and friendship

Born from cleansing of these tears, that I cried today.....
