Teardrop

It was teardrops time,
His journey began,
Leaving his home town,
Was very exciting,
His mission had started,
His world was not like earth, 
People over years had forgotten,
That the Love Hope Town existed,
It was a land beyond land,
Different worlds apart,
Only teardrops live there,
Looking back friends waved him bye,
All his life was for this next adventure,
Feeling so proud of himself,
He was ready,
Standing there,
At the gateway called,
Emotion,
All of a sudden
He was rolling down,
Falling into a very big drop,
Hitting the floor fast,
As soon as he did,
That very moment.
This very old man,
Slipped on teardrop,
Landing on his face,
As he laid there,
Sobbing and sobbing,
Hundreds of teardrops fell,
From the man’s eyes,
Teardrop recognised them,
As his brothers and sisters,
All coming from the gate way Emotion,
As the man laid there he looked up,
Crying out to God saying,
Please help me,
Forgive me.
The teardrops felt such emotional joy,
Knowing that there mission,
Had been accomplished.
