A Tear

Upon my fingertip, today I caught a tear. I pondered all it's meaning, held with in its bounds. Sparkling with all the love, of many a past year. But listen very closely and hear the sorrowed sounds. My tears are those of missing you, A void that's never filled. From day to day I'm at a loss, not knowing what to do. My heart's a rocky soil, parched and un-tilled. My thoughts are often afar off, but mostly are of you. I caught a tear today upon my fingertip. I strained to see the memories you've left me. Your name and all you were and are, rest upon my lip. Someday again I know I'll see you, just you wait and see. I've got so many tears I know I'll never run out. Each one I catch I'll be thinking of you. For that there is no doubt. Please, wont you remember me too. I…miss…you… (I caught a lot of flack over this line: "My thoughts are often afar off"... I wrote it as I meant it! I lost my mother and six months later my mother-in-law... it was a painful time in my life... This poem has been sent over 60,000 times through out the world over the internet... )
