Charles Messina Poet Rhyme

Ten Thousand Tears

I've cried ten thousand tears of sorrow 
Each year I always do 
And I'm sure I'll cry again tomorrow 
I will pray- it's not for you 

Each year I always shed some tears 
For the loss of some dear friends 
In my life of all my years 
A friend of mine- life ends 

I gave them love I wanted to give 
So sad, they did depart 
Vanished from this world we live 
But forever- in my heart

Quoth Theraven March 9, 2021 at 8:38 PM Charles, You write for those important to you. Ones that left such a sweet taste in life, never meant to sour. You must tell their stories now. -Richard Quoth Theraven March 17, 2021 at 8:04 PM Wonder how many tears are stored up in the cold Sierras heights. The desert has a grain of sand for each. -Richard

L Milton Hankins February 28, 2021 at 10:32 AM Fine thoughts expressed for those you have lost over the years. Just think, though, as long as they are in your mind and heart, they have not vanished...or, at least that's how I see it! Nice job! Wishing you good success in the contest.
