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 "Vanished" Poetry Contest Sponsored by Carolyn Devonshire 2/28/2021

So heartfelt Charlie. You can read the sadness. It hits hard when friends depart. Sadly missed, but in your heart they remain.

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

Wonder how many tears are stored up in the cold Sierras heights. The desert has a grain of sand for each. -Richard

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.
