Tears Fall Endlessly
Tears Fall Endlessly
Babies cry
Children cry
Old men cry
Tears fall endlessly
Sitting in a room
Listening to the echoes of the past
I hear the sobs
I see the man
He is old, and withered
Tears fall down his wrinkled cheeks
I see a child
Sitting alone on a bed
Waiting...,crying...,but still trying to be brave
I see the baby
lying in a crib
Crying for the love of his mother
She doesn't answer
All continue to weep
In their own time
And in their own pain
Too many tears have fallen
The pain echoes endlessly
I feel their pain
My face is wet
Tears fall endlessly
