The First Tear

I'm just one tiny tear amidst the sea of your eye So many are surrendered when emotional tides are high But not I I have a different plan I will not be just another tear lost My entrance will be grand I represent all in life that which we cannot see I'm the salty taste of bittersweet, the liquid form of sympathy The light spring shower of laughter the endless sea of love the strength of overflowing tears the power of just one I am welling up as now it is my time I will represent your past Your present and your prime I’ll be your first tear as a woman Your last tear as a girl The tear that got to witness The total eclipse of your world And as you blink I gently fall The tides are getting higher now But I was the first tear to fall and land upon your baby’s brow by: Nicole Hawkins written for "Personify a Tear" contest
