A Tear

A tear was shed today because a boy became a man A life of crime he chose, alone in a cell he stands A tear was shed today a family was torn apart a mother And father divorced and broke their Childs heart A tear was shed today as the preacher said God Bless A flag was given to a family as a Hero was laid to rest A tear was shed today it fell like a drop of rain a mother Lossed a child her joy turned to pain A tear was shed today a man was born again his sins Were washed away he rejoiced with family and friends A tear was shed today a baby was born into this world A father smiled as he held his baby girl A tear was shed today God answered a prayer, a homeless Man was set free from a life of despair A tear was shed today as God gave these words to me I thanked him for the gift of writing poetry
