John Loving Iii Poet Couplet

A Tear a Day

People ask me how I'm fairing
I say I'm fine by just declairing

One single tear a day
I cry my love silently away

One single tear that's all
For a memory I may recall

One single tear bereft
Of happiness and hope that left

One single tear for her
The one who made my heart to soar






( for Paula Swanson's Tear contest )
