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 )
