A Tear Formed in My Heart A tear formed in my heart today It lingered there a while As I sat vigile by your bed Beside your thin profile The tear was felt down in my soul And swelled to see your pain My very core of happiness Was cut and slowly drained The tears of sorrow multiplied And filled my aching heart To think that we would somehow be So cruelly torn apart The drops within me filled the well Of sorrow to the brim Until my eyes could bearly keep The troubled tears within And so they fell upon my face And swelled my weary eyes And ran profusely down my cheeks In streams of painful “whys” But suddenly I glaced at you And there upon your face Was one small tear of happiness That left a teardrop’s trace And through the tear I saw you smile And slowly turn to me You said why do you question Everything that’s meant to be Just think of all the years we had The love of family Would you so question all those splendors Also meant to be?

Elizabeth, this piece is so sad, and yet so wonderfully happy. Life is a cycle depicted with grace with your words. The scheme was great, the message was real. Life is a celebration, as (atleast I think) is death. Much congrats on a well-written, well thoughtout piece. |

This is a very nicely structured poem, with a beautiful thought. I like the contrast between the two tears. It is hard to let go, even when we are sure there is something better waiting for our loved ones. You express that very nicely. |

I only hope that in all the years to come I can remember your beautifully written, heartfelt words...Trust me when I say that they have already put many questions to rest for me. Thank you for sharing this, and God Bless you and yours. Bonnie |

*sniffles* Oh wow. This hit me hard.. very beautiful..  With a little piece of tomorrow, You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye. Because today won't last forever, And the past will only make you cry. |
