Tears of Joy For That Little Boy Bc
On the day he came to visit me there was nothing out of the ordinary
This day had started rather grey with rain clouds overhead
But when I saw him at my door to me this day meant so much more
This day became extraordinary ~ a special day forevermore
I was busy in the kitchen when I heard his tap ~ tap ~ tapping
Making chocolate cookies from a favourite recipe
Swiftly wiping sticky fingers I opened up my kitchen door
So imagine my surprise as I saw those big blue eyes
And those delicate fragile fingers with one digit in particular
so magical, so special ~ I will always recognise
Your return had left me speechless with a grin from ear to ear
To see you at my kitchen door my heart was racing like before
and looking up at me with a twinkle in your eye, you said
‘I am here to see my friend, do you know him, is he here
for many years have passed us by and now I want to tell him why'
And as your gaze looked deeply down inside my hazel eyes
I begin to cry with tears of joy for that little boy back then
whose hand you held so tight on that magic emotional night
As our fingers now make contact like a kiss between old friends
On that glorious day last summer when ET came home for me…
