~~*^*~~
In my life I've shed many a tear
sprinkled through every season
teardrops of pain, joy and sorrow
each tear always had its reason
~*~
Emerging in the corners of my eyes
they take on the character of a tear
one-by-one they flow down my face
resembling glistening gems so clear
~*~
Some are like trinkets of dew drops
waiting for sunrise to wipe them dry
others are like a cascading waterfall
with never-ending drops rushing by
~*~
At times they drop like wax from a candle
leaving hardened tear stains upon my pillow
every once in a while they fall to the ground
like autumn leaves from a weeping willow
~*~
Regularly they drizzle like April showers
leaving streams of tear drops all around
sometime they drop like petals of a rose
each tear fall seamlessly without a sound
~*~
Every so often, through frosty air
falling teardrops, freeze to brittle
others fall softly like snowflakes
slowly melting away little by little
~*~
Through my eyes tears have fallen
all kinds of teardrops, big and small
I cannot help but contemplate;
how many tears have yet to fall?
