Edwin Hofert Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Raindrop

Raindrop

I felt the tears you're crying
from life out of control.
Quietly I closed my eyes
and reached inside my soul.

Past the distant memories
of tears that I too cried.
Past the loss that I had felt
when my own loved ones died.

Past the anguish of betrayal
and the lies I had believed.
I reached beyond the darkness
and the heartache I received.

I reached into that sacred place
I never let another know.
Where when my heart was broken
the place I used to go.

I found one peaceful memory
a single drop of rain.
I brought it back out to you
to wash away your pain.

For raindrops fall from heaven
they are tears from angels eyes.
Bringing comfort to you
as another angel cries.

Edwin C Hofert
