Tears

I took my daughter

Walking down the aisle at church

And saw her saying

Those simple words that mean she's gone.

She was smiling,

The way it shows she is full of trust

She seems complete

I know she will never be alone.

-*-

My tears are running

My hope is high, but I can't contain

The feels of losing

The rocks that keep me from flying away.

Moments like raindrops

Tied to storms hitting my face

Waiting for sunlight

Telling myself that I'm meant to live

for another day.

-*-

I saw my son

Walking down the stage at school

And caught him smiling

Holding the card that means he is done.

He was shining

The way he shines when he makes big plans

He seems relieved

I know he will never lose his hope.

-*-

My tears are running

My hope is high, but I can't contain

The feels of losing

The rocks that keep me from flying away.

Moments like raindrops

Tied to storms hitting my face

Waiting for sunlight

Telling myself that I'm meant to live

for another day.

-*-

I saw my shadow

Moving across the floor at home

But I'm always ready

I have my kids, all of their dreams, and our true Love.
