Mommy Tears

Mommy tears started long ago, 
when your Daddy proposed to me, 
when I said yes they were happy tears 
when he knelt on bended knee. 
Mommy tears came once again 
when you were born that day, 
these tears were mixed with Daddy's love 
on that unforgetful day. 
Mommy tears were shed once more 
when you spoke your very first word, 
I thought that day would never come, 
for Mama I swore I heard. 
There were times when you got sick 
and your fever came on fast, 
my tears of worry started to fall 
wondering how long this would last. 
It wasn't long the time had come, 
 as I watched you go, 
 I came into the house 
Mommy tears had a steady flow. 
So then, I know, there was a time 
when you were our little  man, 
Then Mommy tears will slowly fall 
when another holds your hand. 
 you'll understand these Mommys  tears ,and ask of our dear sweet Lord, to help your momma understand, why for now he'll  keep you to himself 
and Mommy tears are never done until we meet again.
