As I pick this book up to write
I find myself turning to this page
To tell this story yes that's right
Starting out to describe this stage
The pen will not do it justice
Of how I felt on that day
Not even through a lengthy sentence
But I will do my best to show the way
The way in which a drop of water
That day tore my heart in two
I wondered deeply at this matter
But the truth is I barely knew you
To understand at that instance
And comprehend what was on your mind
What could cause something so precious
To escape your eyes, it was a sign
For it was in the very moment
That I turned the page to write
Though not the cause I would seek atonement
To do what I could to make it right
To see your smile once again
Even for whatever part I play
To see your life-giving smile sustain
This moment forward from day to day
The Power Of A Tear

ABOUT THE POET:
Not a lot to say here. I just enjoy writing as a means to mentally unwind. I also like to read what others have written and look for the meaning behind the words. Not just the meaning, but the emotions/feelings that are being communicated through the words.
