Lonely Tears Poem by Robert Edgar Burns

If we all live long enough
We'll all share lonely tears.
Remembering joys and heartaches
That we shared down through the years.

But the many tears of the lonely
Are not unique to us alone.
It is the way of life dear friend,
Loved ones sometimes must leave home.

But joy comes in the morning,
Where all tears are wiped away.
Comfort one another with the knowledge,
We are heading home too, one bright day.

Weeping is a sacred way
To hold love missed in our heart.
But joy is surely coming
Which from us will not depart.
