Tears
"Tears of sadness with a tint of gray,"
my daughter did tell me how she felt;
I understood her feelings that one sad day,
as both of our hearts began to melt.
Someone close to both of us
had fallen so gravely ill;
she said not to worry or make a fuss,
she may get better with just a pill.
My daughter's tears were flowing indeed
as I told her it was okay to cry;
I said it was her heart's primary need
to look above and ask God, "Why?"
The tears of sadness began to slow,
and her heart seemed much lighter;
I told her not to feel so low,
"Your great-grandma is one tough fighter."
Dedicated to the memory of Margaret.
