I have tears in my eyes because of where I came from.
Knowing the unbelievable things that I have done.
What I have achieved stands second to none.
I wasn't supposed to make it past twenty-one.
My eyes bleed for those who didn't make the the trip.
Like my little brother, of whom, I wore on my hip.
As long as I live, I will have tears in my eyes.
Because I still can't believe I'm still alive.
The Tears in My Eyes
by
Robert E. Welch, Sr.
February 5, 2023
You quickly left me in the morning.
I had no time for good-byes.
Life for you has now ended
That’s put the tears in my eyes.
Memories come flooding back
Of two brothers having fun.
The years we spent together
Doing things when we were young.
But an illness overtook you
And dark clouds covered the sky.
You could no longer enjoy your life
It put the tears back in my eyes.
Now you’ve gone on to Heaven
Where your golden mansion lies.
I will miss you, my brother
And still have tears in my eyes.
Tears In My Eyes From Yours
Read poem and had tears in my eyes from yours;
About all the experiences that a person endures;
Again got caught,
As I had thought;
To write poems in my mind took many more tours.
Jim Horn
Tears in my eyes
My heart bleeding cries
My head bowed for shame
Shall sin be my name?
This is not whom I long to be
I am not the girl of my dreams
Something lacks, to complete my
being
Could it be the Christ?
But will he accept me?
For I have eaten the dung of sin
Howbeit that I shall be saved?
"Forgive me" that's my plea
"Encourage me" I pray to thee
Let me live thy soothing peace
Of all the things I'd love to be
Walking with you, is the treasure for
me.
The Tears In My Eyes
they can choose to fade away
or i can cry all night until there's no more pain.
These tears are like something you never seen
you can call it blood right from my bloodstream...
The Tears In My Eyes
were only met for you
but u couldnt comprehend or even tell the truth.
My love is so deep
the blood in my eyes they can never ever be.
My eyes and these tears
will never wipe away even through out the years.
The Tears In My Eyes
The Tears In My Eyes
they caught my heart by suprise
i will never ever dream about you
i will never ever cry about you
but my heart will
and that kills me.
I tell the truth and you lie
i go home
with these tears in my eyes
TEARS IN MY EYES
With tears in my eyes
I”lm stand before his throne
Knowing it’s only Him
That I can lean on
Telling Him from my heart
How I truly feel
With each day that passes
My hope Is to be real
Only by His grace
Do I still have this life
Tears come into my eyes
Thinking of how He paid the price
There’s been many moments
When I haven’t been too wise
These thoughts come to mind
Bringing tears in my eyes.
I woke up this morning and sit here with tears in my eyes.
Her seeing me came as a big surprise.
She has no idea who I might be.
Plus some kind if proof she demanded too see.
she wants me to find the people in her past.
The ones that in this life no longer last.
Asking me to take her back home.
To the house where her and my nephew lived alone.
That house house over 20 years ago.
It's been torn down and all I have are pictures to show.
She talks to that lady that no on else can see
And the boys are always here to some degree.
This is the worse part that we have finally hit.
This day I am not sure I can take.
Starting off with tear as I wake.
Into this day can I make it all fit
Because today stronger I can't seem to get
So I sit there in this room crying alone and venting to you
You can bet this has all taken me by surprise
I have never woke up with tears in my eyes!

My eyes flood with tears
Every time I hear your voice or see your face
My heart fills with sadness
When I think of all you were and what you did
Have you seen my childhood?
It is filled with memories of you
Of pictures hanging on the walls
Endless musings, lyrics burned in my mind
Speechless, that’s how you made me feel
Spinning and sliding in the way only you could do
The saddest of it was being so misunderstood
Living the lie bestowed, trapped in your world
No one will ever know the mystery that was you
You gave so much, much more taken in return
In your own words sung with such sincerity
“…Everyone's taking control of me
Seems that the world's got a role for me…”
In our hearts you will always live
The little boy who wanted to heal the world
So also will all that you were and could have been
You never said goodbye but in that you are not alone
Rest in peace M. J. you need look no more.
Tears in my eyes
I cry
I miss you baby
I just want to
Hold you tight
Make sure everything
Is alright
Be there for
You
Through the tough
Times
I want to
Open the door
To good times
The memories
We had…
Good, mostly
Tears in my eyes
I cry
I'm smiling
I'm smiling
Tears in my eyes
Ready to fall
'Bout ready to cry
I'm happy
I'm happy
Well at least i'm trying
To be
This is a new year
A new year
Time for a different me
A better me
A better me
One thats not going to
Lie in unhappiness
I'm smiling
I'm happy
This is a new year
Time for a better me
Tears in my eyes
I wipe them dry
No time for past cries
A new me
A new me.....
I get tears in my eyes
When I think of Mam and Dad
I get tears in my eyes
And it makes me feel so very very sad
I get tears in my eyes
Thinking of how things used to be
I get tears in my eyes
Just wishing they were still alive and with me
I get tears in my eyes
Just looking at photos of them smiling, just at me
I get tears in my eyes
But know that one day they’ll be with me once more
I get tears in my eyes just thinking!
