Tears

I wake up to see you Standing in the morning light.

I reach out to touch you,but all that I get Is a memory, and yet,

I feel you are near But my vision's not clear.

Yet I have your image always in view.

I'm forever thinking of you.

I try to find some peace of mind

In knowing you're where. You don't have a care.

I take comfort that You no longer have.

To keep living in a world full of pain,

But I ache to see you again.

On rainy days I sit and think of our lost years,

The times we spent apart just fill my eyes with tears,

But fields of wild flowers and yellow butterflies

Remind me of you and make me smile.

I see you everywhere. I live now in a still world

Listening in the morning light.

I strain to hear a familiar voice

But all that I hear Is the sound of my tears.

Then from a far place

Comes the slightest trace

Of your voice saying, "I'm all right, you see,and I always will be."
