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 |

Poignant, perfect rhyme, and a great subject to lend tears to. Enjoyed this very much. Waste not a second ~ Carpe' Diem |

I've been to your garden often, and it is indeed as lovely as you describe. The white roses in the corner, do you see them? Those were from one that was taken too soon from me. And those gardenia's? Those are from one now, that won't take my hand. So nice to see the tears have come to a beautiful end. You write beautifully. Sandra |

In my garden was a special tree...she died but left a seed watered by me. Lovely poem! |
