I'm not sure where this poem came from, but I was playing with the words and it just kept going.
Nothing serious...just playing with the rhythm of the words. Actually, it's kind of dopey.
Don't read this! Go on to the next one...please...



Tears Falling From My Eyes

Our first embrace
and tears
falling from my eyes
tears of joy
falling like rain
tears falling
falling
falling from my eyes

Pledging our love
and tears
falling from my eyes
tears of love
falling like rain
tears falling
falling
falling from my eyes

You go off to war
and tears
falling from my eyes
tears of fear
falling like rain
tears falling
falling
falling from my eyes

Long, brave goodbyes
and tears
falling from my eyes
tears of heartache
falling like rain
tears falling
falling
falling from my eyes

News of your death
and tears
falling from my eyes
tears of grief
falling like rain
tears falling
falling
falling from my eyes

You are only wounded
and tears
falling from my eyes
tears of relief
falling like rain
tears falling
falling
falling from my eyes

You return home
and tears
falling from my eyes
tears of hope
falling like rain
tears falling
falling
falling from my eyes

Healing begins
and tears
falling from my eyes
tears of joy
falling like rain
tears falling
falling
falling from my eyes

Love renewed and joyous
and tears
falling from my eyes
tears of love
falling like rain
tears falling
falling
falling from my eyes

Happiness abounds
and tears
falling from my eyes
tears of utter happiness
falling like rain
tears falling
falling
falling from my eyes
