Tears Writing a Love Letter

Keeping a secret discretion forbids

The blind tell who see what They once did

A baby's tears having long disappeared

As They've long since grown up,though in a way are still here

Thoughts forgotten are remembered in time

For inclusion in poems,whether free verse or rhyme 

When that who gave birth to You passes away

Would You forfeit Your life or decide You should stay

A birth coinciding with one having died

The cycle of life in which one should take pride

A Doctor tells one hope when there's not

Knowing better than most that's all that They've got

A dying child looks up at Their Dad

And says You did Your best so please don't be sad

In an ideal World,no one says Goodbye 

But that's proven impossible each time that I cry

An older Woman tries her best to be couth

Knowing Her smile is all that's left over from youth

A phantom dream of one thought to have died

Though are alive and well in the tears in Your eyes

A private viewing at the funeral home

Leaving You and They all alone

To exchange the words You've wanted to say

Since well before You parted that Day

A spouse,a sibling,a parent or child

Their memories alive in the last time They smiled 

Starry skies of tinted glass

Seen through the tears of those who have passed

And as She departs this physical realm

For that which has been reserved for Her

And where We find Ourselves at the moment 

Intersperses with where We were

I'll whisper to Her one last time

You were never second best

Not by a long shot baby

As if You hadn't already guessed
