My Tears Are Flowing
by Barbara Philbrook

My tears are flowing and my heart is aching,
because I know your heart is breaking.

There are times when life just doesn't seem fair,
and it's times like these I wish I could be there.

The sorrow I feel within my heart,
feels as though it could just rip me apart.

The distance makes my coming an impossibility.
I hope you will be able to forgive me.

I wish I could hold you in my arms,
and try to console you from all aches and harms.

But we both know that's not a possibility.
We both know you won't be seeing me.

I have you constantly in my heart,
and had before your troubles even did start.

Please know I constantly offer you up in prayer.
Tis the best I can do since I'm not there.

Yes, my tears are flowing but they do you no good.
So it's prayers I offer as God said I should.
