When I hear the marching band When I see the flag go by I feel a lump in my throat And tears come flowing from my eyes When the crowd is gathered And the game is just about to begin And I hear the Star Spangled Banner Some more tears find their way down again When senior boys and senior girls Clothed in graduation gowns March joyfully down an aisle Tears take a trip down again When a man and women is standing Before the altar Saying the I do's Tear's cut loose again When relatives arrive from distance places And I am there to meet them at their arrival Tears show up again As emotion takes control Tears of sadness usually overtake me On sad occasions.. but there always seems to be A special reserve for overwhelming emotions Of pride and joy, and happiness Those are the kind of tears I don't mind crying Over and over again |

the purest emotional signals are tears...they show the most love, the most pride, the most pain.. your tears are a tribute gift....well written |

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Songbird, I knoew these feelings ever so much too, for I am graduating from high school next June, and I can't help but cry when I think of what I am going to say and think when I leave behind all my favorite teachers behind, especially when I'm in the run for valedictorian and wondering how I'd speak through all those tears had I won the honor. (sad sigh) But all the while I look to the future with a smile, wondering what great things I can do in college, and I cry tears of joy too with the tears of sadness! (sigh) This is soooooo touching, sweet friend, we all love you so very much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Songbird, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
