Tears Of A Clown Poem by Jason Summers

He will show you how much you mean
By the way he smiles and when his eyes gleam.
He patiently speaks with more than words to say
We know what he means because this is his way.
He carries our love with his cross at his heart
From his family you could never tear apart.
Only when no one was around
Would there be tears of a clown.
After the rain that helped cleanse the soul
Would the spirit finally rest as a whole.
But his day would not end without a laugh
And his laughter would hide the times he was sad.
Even at our expense his jokes were great
From brother to son, the love you could not separate.
And may the heaven's skies above
Know how deep is our love.
