Shedding a Tear For Him

I cannot help but feel this pain For a man that I once knew Now as I see him once again My words I find are few Separated years ago Through fateful circumstance Life's been a hard row to hoe But here's another chance To tell this man I love him As a single tear cascades It shows a love that will not dim A feeling that never fades A tear that belies all I've said In anger through the years The stories that were in my head My resentment and fears Now for this man I hardly knew I stand here and I weep I wish him a loving adieu In his eternal sleep He looks serene just lying there Although it makes me sad My teardrops show how much I care As I say"good-bye Dad" By Deb Wilson for contest"Personify A Tear" sponsored by HGarvey Daniel Esquire
