Brush Away the Tear

Do I see a tear there in your eye -- Reflecting broken dreams from days gone by? Was it caused by something I have done? Or do you feel you’re not my only one? Can I help you drive away the pain And let you know how you’ve not loved in vain? Let me change your heartache to a sigh And brush away the tear there in your eye. Do I see a frown there on your face – Reflecting pain that time cannot erase? Is your love for me now turning cold – Or have the memories grown hard to hold? Come and let me hold you close to me. Don’t let our love be just a memory. Let me stay with you for just a while And help you change that frown into a smile. Time is kinder When you’re here with me. The mem’ries blind me so You’re all my heart can see. Come and let me take you by the hand – Please listen and just try to understand – Love like ours will never ever die – So, brush away the tear there in your eye.

Lovely! This poem is very touching and heartfelt. It is probably one of the best poems that I have ever read! Terrific work, John!...Thank you very much for the nice comments!...Would you read my new poem titled, "The Signal"? It is the first poem that I have written with another poet, and I would like to get your opinion on it.

Thought I would come to your very first poem. I do that when I start to notice that I've seen all the poems on a person's current page! This is really nice. Like Debs below says: it shows a tender heart.

Andrea, some of my best work is in the early postings. This is one I wrote a melody for and it became a pretty little song.... Thanks for visiting.... Jake

This verse shows the tenderness of your heart! The meter moves the verse forward in a very soothing way just as you would hope for the content. Light & Love
