Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

A Mother's Tears

A mother’s tears are born of love
Her baby soft and new 
And with each touch, her joy regales
Eyes, a misty blue

A mother’s tears reflect her pride
Her boy has started school 
He’s growing fast, he’ll finish soon
Her eyes begin to pool

A mother’s tears for wedding bells 
Expected, yet still sweet
And soon there will be babies new
For Grandma’s eyes to greet

So many tears, my mother’s tears 
I’ve handled, though I feign 
That I can handle anything 
But not her tears of pain

A mother’s tears of sadness 
Of loss, a grieving heart 
The ones she tries to hide from me
Are tearing me apart
