“ A Stranger’s Tears ”

She takes her place on center stage as she’s instructed too
The time is near and so she prays while waiting for her cue
She thanks God for this special gift she’s waited for so long
But still regrets he isn’t there to watch her sing each song

And so the curtain start’s to rise her heart begins to pound
She takes a real deep breath and hopes that it will calm her down
The lights start dimming all around as music fills the air
Her spotlight made it hard to see the people sitting there

She lifted up her microphone still feeling insecure
But then she saw him sitting there just staring up at her
He didn’t look familiar but when she began to sing
He gave to her the sweetest smile and that changed everything

She suddenly could feel a strength she didn’t feel before
Her fears and insecurities were not there anymore
And so she kept her eyes on him through every melody
For he had been the only one that she could clearly see

Yet when the time had come to sing the last one she would do
She smiled at him and said “This song I dedicate to you”
But when she starts to sing the song that’s when she was aware
The smile that she had leaned upon was now no longer there

His look was sad and she could see his tears begin to fall
And that was when she found the strength she needed after all
She knew he didn’t know how hard that song was going to be
But she continued singing and she did it perfectly

And then she noticed something strange that started taking place
With every tear the stranger cried it slowly changed his face
To her surprise, she realized that God had heard her prayer
Yes, she discovered who he was and why God put him there

When she had finished singing and the lights were turned back on
She took her bow and then looked up but saw that he was gone
And then she heard God say to her “This was your miracle
I couldn’t let you close to him for he’s untouchable

You must believe how proud he is of everything you do
And he’ll be there within your reach still watching over you”
She looked again where he had been but now she knew for sure
It didn’t matter where she was he’d always be with her
God’s plan was so much better than the dream she’d had for years
She found her strength and so much more behind “A Stranger’s Tears”

Thank You and although I give all the credit to the actual writer "God" without his guidance, it wouldn't or couldn't be done. I do enjoy it here compared to other boards I've been on. It's been very good for me.
Thank You again!
