The Tears That Touch My Face

The Tears That Touch My Face

The tears that touch my face
Come at such odd times, strange
Writing reports that have nothing
To do with you or your life
Unbidden they fall spreading
The dampness cools the skin
As the breeze lightly caresses
Reminding me of you

The tears that touch my face
Fall from the one I adore
Grief encapsulated in drops
Flowing wildly and freely
Shared moments and sobs
Remembering and mourning
Each drop a piece of loss
Entering the world of love

The tears that touch my face
Brought from the support and love
That friends and family have
In sympathy and understanding
Calms my aching heart for a time
And reassures me that life resumes
Bringing honor and respect to
One so small and precious

Tears can do so much good
And connect us in our soul
