The Tear That Perhaps Fell

I hear tell of eyes that did once well Of a teardrop that perhaps then fell It formed on the lashes and ran down the cheek Round the nose to the mouth and volumes it did speak That teardrop of which I once did hear tell A might man, a giant, it nearly did fell That perfect little salty drop of love so pure If bottled would be the used as the world's cure For it to form on the eye of a hardened and hurt soul To be caused by a love returned pure and whole That teardrop that I would take and keep forever near Is proof of a love that needs no words of love to hear. With my lips to kiss that teardrop away A fingertip to stop the path it would stray A loving heart to place in the path of a tear I would do that for the greatest of love I did hear. © ~GG~ 4/01/2012

Tears sometimes can heal. One has to let it out so as not to let it bottled up inside. Sad write, my friend. Hope you get perked up after letting the tears flow. Love ya, Mandy :)
