Sugar Tears

Some days, I cry my sugar tears For loves , I’ve lost throughout the years For memories of sweet goodbyes Or happiness in someone’s eyes Some days, I need my sugar tears To try and live without the fears Of loneliness for empty chairs And empty beds in rooms upstairs Yet they are also tears of joy For visions of a little boy So loved by those who came before To welcome him with love so pure For memories of holidays Of Christmas lights and high school plays Those honeyed tears that ebb and flow To toast this life I've come to know

Such sweet tears of sadness and nostaligia, but: remember Mike, it is a good soul who fondly remembers them all with sugar tears in his eyes, God bless . . .
