Heavenly Tear
Tears fall from my eyes,
As your tiny hands fall from mine.
A few days is all we had with you,
It seemed a full life time.
I dreamed how we’d played,
In the sun-snow and rain.
How you would grow into a man,
Making me proud everyday.
The dull sound of the alarm,
As doctors come rushing in.
Angels flying above you,
Heavenly children sing.
I see you leave your body,
And glance down at me.
There’s a sudden realisation,
No pain-your totally free.
Now my son in heaven,
Safe as safe can be.
Heavenly tears are falling,
From him-two-you-to me .
