The Sum of My Tears
If I could gather every moment
missing you
into the sum of my tears
I’d cry you a river
I’d cry the compassion of the Sun as he lets the clouds roll in,
if it would give us more years
I’d cry you a river
I’d cry the rain into the clouds so that the river brought you near
My tears would flood The Sands of Time giving back your youthful years
I’d cry my prayers into the Heavens so all the Heavens hear
I’d cry you a river,
praying THE MOST HIGH would deliver
me this prayer
But most of all, when all summed up,
I cry rivers reminiscent of times shared,
rivers of loneliness, of happiness, of sorrow
from the warmth of your presence no longer here
These rivers I cry
are an expression of my love for you,
Love that will never fade, never evanesce or disappear
rivers that aggregate into the depths of the oceans
of memories, that will never dry,
though my rain clouds may seem to have cleared
When added all up
I miss you,
Is the sum of my tears
