Today I let one tear spill,

no one saw it fall.

I wiped it quickly away,

not a trace of it at all.

I held back a mighty river,

with only a fragile heart.

I bravely held on to it,

right from the very start.

One tiny tear escaped today,

full of hidden sorrow.

It trickled only a little way,

checked until tomorrow.

There is much feeling in your poem. Living long means holding back a lotof tears. Love, Joyce

I love this. Holding back and not allowing anyone to see your emotions. There is a strength in the midst of sadness.

Dear June,

Such emotion a single tear can cause! Your poem moved me very much. Thank you for sharing this wonderful read.

Love,
Patricia

Thank you Joyce, PK and Pat,
I felt this very way today and I think I just needed to let it pour on to the page. I am glad it touched you all the way it did.
