Garden Of Tears

Here among these garden walls
A sad and lonely teardrop falls
Rolling softly down a cheek
It leaves a painful silver streak

And carries with it all the pain
Of a faded love song’s sad refrain
Across a heart this pain will pass
Like jagged shards of broken glass

But where it falls upon the ground
A bloom of hope will soon be found
The blossoms grow both bright and clear
Each was grown from a single tear

The garden walls are thick and high
To hide the hearts that come to cry
The blooms are plentiful and vast
From all the many tears that passed

Flowers here are all attended
By broken hearts that haven’t mended
But as each bloom falls to the ground
A damaged heart new love has found

For every bloom that leaves this place
Another teardrop streaks a face
There always is a full supply
To take the place of those that die

In my spot the flowers flourish
All of them my tears will nourish
Each day a new fresh bloom appears
In my garden of lonesome tears
