Garden of Tears

Here among these garden walls A sad and lonely teardrop falls Rolling softly down a cheek It leaves a painful silver streak And carries with it all the pain Of a faded love song’s sad refrain Across a heart this pain will pass Like jagged shards of broken glass But where it falls upon the ground A bloom of hope will soon be found The blossoms grow both bright and clear Each was grown from a single tear The garden walls are thick and high To hide the hearts that come to cry The blooms are plentiful and vast From all the many tears that passed Flowers here are all attended By broken hearts that haven’t mended But as each bloom falls to the ground A damaged heart new love has found For every bloom that leaves this place Another teardrop streaks a face There always is a full supply To take the place of those that die In my spot the flowers flourish All of them my tears will nourish Each day a new fresh bloom appears In my garden of lonesome tears
