Jo Mykle Hofseth Poet Free verse

Tears

While I waited for you to come home
The sound of rain made me think 
About the times you have seen me cry
Tears of sadness 
Tears of goodbye 
You have seen me cry 
Tears of bitterness 
Tears of wistfulness 
You have seen me cry 
Tears beside a tombstone 
Tears that made the whiskey taste salt 
You have seen me cry 
Water under the bridge tonight
And uplifting thoughts about
You holding my hand
While I cried
Because tonight
You will see me cry
Tears of joy 
Seeing you
