The Tears I Shed As I gazed out of my window At the gently falling rain. I wondered how long it would be 'Til the sun would shine again. I was sad before the rain came, Even sadder when it did. I longed to turn the clock back To when I was just a kid. Worries and responsibilities Were few and far between. Like, mom would say, "Homework done, And, is your bedroom clean?" The tears I shed were very few. Life was so easy then. If I'd get a bump or bruise, I knew, Mom would "fix" me up again. But, now my dad's in Heaven, He joined my daughter there. And, when the angels came for mom, It seemed more than I could bear. But, Jesus said if I follow Him I'll see them all someday. This made it easier to bear When angels carried my brother away. I will try to smile and carry on As the months turn into years, 'Til I join them up in Heaven Where there'll be no sorrow or tears. Copyright 2000 by Gloria Martel |
