TEARS

Tears are a language that God understands.

They come straight from a Mother’s heart.

Tears from disappointments, tears of joy

Released tears nourish growth that love starts.

A garden of tears has been waiting to flow.

Let our tears caress each tender thought.

God alone knows the cause of each tear

God has life lessons waiting to be taught.

A loving Mother learns to give and release.
A barren Mother lovingly took and received.

Both of us know in our deep heart of hearts

Double love four our daughter was conceived.

Your loving tears gave unselfish surrender.

My lonely tears were unique as I claimed.

Your deep love became shattered, in pieces.

My bonding love gave our baby a new name.

We have so many teardrops in common.

We have plenty of memories to share.

Whatever happens when we meet on Friday

God is rejoicing and He tenderly cares.
