Mourning Glory

My room so cold and lonely 
teardrops fill my eyes. 
Rain outside is heavy 
from dark and stormy skies. 

I sit alone and ponder 
on days that used to be, 
but the only ones I have now 
are filled with misery. 

I try to accept what's happened 
make plans for coming years, 
but each passing moment 
only brings more tears. 

I sit here by my window 
with the rain still slowly falling, 
as I close my eyes 
I realize someone's calling. 

I wipe the tears from my face 
and bow my head to pray, 
I finally turn to the Son, 
who dries my tears away.
