Shedding a Tear For Him
I cannot help but feel this pain
For a man that I once knew
Now as I see him once again
My words I find are few
Separated years ago
Through fateful circumstance
Life's been a hard row to hoe
But here's another chance
To tell this man I love him
As a single tear cascades
It shows a love that will not dim
A feeling that never fades
A tear that belies all I've said
In anger through the years
The stories that were in my head
My resentment and fears
Now for this man I hardly knew
I stand here and I weep
I wish him a loving adieu
In his eternal sleep
He looks serene just lying there
Although it makes me sad
My teardrops show how much I care
As I say"good-bye Dad"
