The Reluctant Tear Drops

Dedicated To Our Brave Military Everywhere

By Rev. Lainie Dowell



I want to cry with each day
that passes by
but I
have no shoulder to
erase my tears when
I get through


So I'll just keep my tears hid
and save my pride from view
and promise not to pop my lid
until my tears are due


Still all in all these shoulders
are broad yet small
So I'll just keep watch and pray
and greet you with a loving smile
each and every day


For when this, America's child,
welcomes America's children back home
Ah, Lord, then may these tears
even though unknown
start to pour forth
and like rain fall
drop by drop and
never stop
alone

REMEMBERING YOU ALL ON MEMORIAL DAY!

Come visit my respite site called,
She Who Walks With the Wind
