Michael Degenhardt Poet Quatrain

My Tears

These tears I shed, I’m not ashamed
For love they flow, just so free
I know they’ll stop, one day soon
But right now friend, I cannot see

I heard the news from your wife
My wife and I feel awfully sad
The kids will miss you too my friend
In fact, everyone just feels so bad

We knew your illness held you hostage
But also hoped and prayed you’d heal
Sadly, my friend, you had left us
With sadness then to always feel

I’ll look upon your house each morning
When I go off to work each day
But know this friend; I’ll take you with me
For in our hearts you’ll always stay

I promise to look in on her
I know she’s burdened now with weight
The grief can be so overbearing
But we’ll look in without delay

So, know this friend, all will be fine
For we’re just saddened by this time
