Tears Poem by Harrison Fairchild

THEY COME FORTH
THE LITTLE DROPS OF WATERY LAYERS
HUNDREDS OF THEM FALL FROM MY FACE
BECAUSE OF MY UNHEARD PRAYERS

TEARS
TEARS
SO MANY TEARS
I SHED TOO MANY TEARS

THE PEOPLE I WILL MISS
AND YET I DON'T WHY
THEY'VE GONE TO SOME OTHER PLACE
AND I'M STILL HERE SAYING GOODBYE

TEARS
TEARS
SO MANY TEARS
WHY CAN'T I STOP SHEDDING THESE TEARS

MY HEART IS ACHING SO BADLY
BREAKING INTO TWO
GOODBYE FOR NOW MY DEAR ONES
I HOPE ONE DAY AGAIN TO SEE YOU

TEARS
TEARS
SHED SO MANY TEARS
PLEASE LORD, MAKE ME STOP SHEDDING THESE TEARS
