Silent Tears

Through my silent tears, a song of memories fall

With every drop of water, heartache does recall

Each cry of remorse a note of love-how it pierces so!

Each day more distant is your smile-melodies from long ago

Never again to hear your voice so comforting and strong

Wish do I to turn back time...our conversations to prolong

To learn from you the many things your gentle heart has known

That I might understand this life, instead of being alone

My heart so weary burns for you like a frozen flower inflamed

Still am I-yet a fiery love I have within untamed

My silent tears fill then my heart and overflow with love

And sing my song this song of tears for you to hear above

___

Though I am now without you, decided have I today

That you shall live within my heart and your memory there shall stay
